I am trying to update my optimization jobs so they will not optimize
the older partitions (for performance and snapshot space reasons).

ALTER INDEX {indname} ON {tabname} REORGANIZE PARTITION = ?

I can get the partition, but my question is, how do I determine if the
index is in a partition I want to optimize?

I would like to use my groupname column in sysfilegroups, because I've
named them by year (YearFG04, YearFG05, etc). That is, I want to
optimize all indexes which DO NOT belong to YearFG04, YearFG05 and
YearFG06, but I DO want to optimize YearFG07 and PRIMARY.

But I don't know how to tie this back to the partition_number or
partition_id and therefore the index_id.

I've been looking at this all day, and I'm sure I'm blind, but I
cannot seem to find what i need.


thank you so much!
