    Can you share the output of the command: SELECT EXPORT_OBJECTS('','<your_schema>.<your_table>',FALSE); ?
    Based on that, I can put together the right command.
    Your output shows : the node name, probably the year-month value of the date that determines the partition, a '0' that I don't know where it comes from , and a '1' that I don't know where it comes from .
    Can you elabourate?
