D: Creating Distributed Partitioned Views
Before you implement a partitioned view, you must first partition a table horizontally. In designing a partitioning scheme, it must be clear what data belongs to each member table. The original table is replaced with several smaller member tables. Each member table has the same number of columns as the original table, and each column has the same attributes as the corresponding column in the original table, such as data type, size, and collation. If you are creating a distributed partitioned view, each member table is on a separate member server.
AE: Defining Distributed Partition Views
After you create the member tables, you define a distributed partitioned view on each member server, with each view having the same name.
You build the distributed partitioned views by performing the following tasks:
Adding linked server definitions on each member server that contains the connection information

required to run distributed queries on the other member servers. This gives a distributed partitioned view access to data on the other servers.
Setting the lazy schema validation option.
