Explanation:
Note:
- Create a new partitioned table with the partition function you want, and then insert the data from the old table into the new table by using an INSERT INTO...SELECT FROM statement.
- SPLIT RANGE ( boundary_value )
Adds one partition to the partition function. boundary_value determines the range of the new partition, and must differ from the existing boundary ranges of the partition function. Based on boundary_value, the Database Engine splits one of the existing ranges into two.
Of these two, the one where the new boundary_value resides is considered the new partition.
- BCP can be used top produce the zipped text file.
- Example: plitting a partition of a partitioned table or index into two partitions The following example creates a partition function to partition a table or index into four partitions.
ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION splits one of the partitions into two to create a total of five partitions.
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION myRangePF1 (int)
AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES ( 1, 100, 1000 );
GO
-Split the partition between boundary_values 100 and 1000
-to create two partitions between boundary_values 100 and 500
--and between boundary_values 500 and 1000.
ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION myRangePF1 ()
SPLIT RANGE (500);
