ORA-14508: specified VALIDATE INTO table not found

When validating partitioned tables you can get the following error:

   ORA-14508: specified VALIDATE INTO table not found

SOLUTION:

Create table "invalid_rows" by running $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlvalid.sql 
then run a regular command to validate structure cascade:

   analyze table <table_name> validate structure cascade;

you do NOT have to use a special partition clause:

   analyze table <table_name> partition <part_name> 
      validate structure cascade into invalid_rows;
