Specifies columns whose values are used as limits for partitioning the index across multiple storage areas. You cannot name columns not specified as index key segments. If the index key is multisegmented, you can include some or all of the columns that are joined to form the index key. You must specify the columns in the order in which they were specified when the index key was defined. If you include only a subset of the columns from the multisegmented index, you must include the leading columns of the index key.
