Partitioning Tables Instructions/Examples

  • Does anyone have a good step-by-step instruction/book referral on partitioning tables? Possible instructions to create an example on a sample database? The one's I've found are not completely clear. I have the functions created, but do I create the table for each year or is/can this be automatically done? How is the initial move done? Is the current table still used/renamed/deleted? Any help appreciated.

    Thanks!

  • What's wrong with included samples?

  • These seem a bit broken up. The 2nd script has no explanation or comments on what the purpose is. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I will continue to look through the different links regarding this.

    Thank you.

  • Has anyone found good, step-by-step partion instructions? Preferably an example that partitions table into 3 or more???

  • Ok. I'm not too familiar with partitioning and here's what I have.

    Table1 with millions of rows

    I created the quarterly function and schema

    I created 4 tables, Table1_20081stQtr on schema

    Table1_20082ndQtr on schema

    Table1_20083rdQtr on schema

    Table1_20084thQtr on schema

    I then moved the appropriate data from Table1 to the 4 tables.

    Now I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next.

    How will Table1 know to use these tables when users query against Table1? Not sure I understand these instructions. What am I doing wrong???
