I need to add partitions into existing tables, we dont have production database access and we need to send sql queries to find details regarding existing partitions, I tried

Database is oracle 10g

get_ddl function of dbms_metadata package will give you such information:

SQL> create table Tb_Test(
  2    id number primary key
  3  )
  4  partition by range(id)(
  5    partition part1 values less than (100),
  6    partition part2 values less than (300),
  7    partition part3 values less than (maxvalue)
  8  )
  9  ;

Table created 

SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'TB_TEST')
  2    from dual
  3  ;

DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE',
