You can move a partition from one database to another. For example, to transfer the 2011 range partition from the DB1 database to the DB2 database, use this code:
$ cat transfer-partition.xml
<transfer xmlns="http://marklogic.com/manage">
<destination-database>DB2</destination-database>
</transfer>
$ curl --anyauth --user user:password -X PUT \
-d @transfer-partition.xml -H 'Content-type: application/xml' \
