How do I add an interval partition to an existing table in Oracle?

You cannot partition an existing non-partitioned table. In general, you'll need to create a new partitioned table, move the data from the existing table to the new table (probably using a direct-path insert with parallel DML), drop the old table, and rename the new table to use the old name. You can do that manually.

How do I add a partition to an interval partitioned table?

You cannot explicitly add a partition to an interval-partitioned table. The database automatically creates a partition for an interval when data for that interval is inserted.
