What if the syntax was something like -

CREATE TABLE tabname (    ...    ... ) PARTITION BY HASH(expr)
| RANGE(expr)
| LIST(expr)
[PARTITIONS num_partitions] /* will apply to HASH only for now*/
[PARTITION partition_name CHECK(...) [USING TABLESPACE tblspcname], PARTITION partition_name CHECK(...) [USING
TABLESPACEtblspcname] ...
 
];


And (if we use the ALTER TABLE to add partitions)

ALTER TABLE tabname
ADD PARTITION partition_name CHECK(...)
[USING TABLESPACE tblspcname];


Of course ALTER TABLE childtable SET TABLESPACE tblspcname; should not 
cause any probs.
