Rule-based table partitioning is the most significant enhancement
to Ingres since the multi-threaded server architecture was adopted in Release 6. At
a stroke, it solves all of the most intractable problems of managing very large tables; it
facilitates true parallel query execution, and it is also highly effective at solving some
tricky problems even in small databases. In this presentation I look at some of the
less obvious benefits of partitioning, and also some of the potential pitfalls that need
to be avoided.
The presentation is in the form of 31
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 slides, zipped to 48kb and inflating to 208kb. |
