Normalization is a standard procedure used in RDBMSs. Row splitting is where the number of columns in one table are split into different tables and connected by their primary key. This improves performances by decreasing the amount of data scanned during querying.

Could you please help me?

I have a test table .it has a olumn named PersonelImage,and it keeps images of all the personel.because of the larg number of records in table and the large size of the image files,i want to use partitioning and keep the images in another drive.
Is it true to use vertical partitioning?
I create a new filegroup called image and placed it in another drive,but i dont know how to create a vertical partition?!

I know the usage of horizental partitioning and the script for creating it but not about vertical partitioning.

I have seen in tables property to set “Table is partitioned” to true or false. However, this is inactive, how can we change this configuration?

Thank you
Woin

Hi Dave, can you answer if there is any mistake in this sentence?

I’m facing problems that alex and Diana had (the very bottom two comments). Could you please answer those questions for me?

Thanks a lot.

I have a table which is 1/2 terabyte and would like to partition by year, but the table already exists.

Can you tell me please if partitioning can help with performance when data is stored on SAN? I think it might be useless, because even if I have different drives, they might reside on the same LUN. What do you think?
Thanks,
Alex

If I want to have some sort of redundant mechanism for reporting purposes (let’s say I have a transactions table that I would like to have duplicated, so transactions are going in real time to the live table, and reports are getting from that other duplicated table) for performance and scalability reasons.

Is partitioning the table a viable solution?

If not, would anybody recommend me anything?

Thanks a lot,

I will appreciate your help.

Percise and good presentation…
Below are my doubts.
1. Can we create partitioning, based on two columns?
2.Can you specify the significance of index on a partition table?
3.please let me know URLs for your subsequent articles on Partitioning

Does vertical partitioning happen one subsystem at a time, one level at a time or if the horizontal partitioning breaks down?

Thank you.
