Description
CONVERT PARTITION / CONVERT TABLE is asymmetrical for system versioning. A partition can be converted into a table, but it doesn't work the other way round:
|
10.7 120a4caf |
create or replace table t (a int) with system versioning partition by system_time limit 10 partitions 3; |
alter table t convert partition p0 to table tp; |
alter table t convert table tp to partition p0; |

I had to revert commit 1 of 2 (changing error messages) because it broke builds with cmake -DPLUGIN_PARTITION=NO.
I think that the change needs to be implemented and reviewed in a separate ticket if it is considered useful.
For the record (since the history of this JIRA item doesn't make any sense and can be confusing): converting a table to a system-time partition still does not work, the problem described here was never fixed even though the resolution says it was; all that was done is a change of the error code/message, which now says "CONVERT TABLE TO PARTITION can only be used on RANGE/LIST partitions" for the scenario from the description.
