Author Table partitioning in SQL Server
sai

2006-02-28, 8:23 pm

Hi All,
Can some one tel me if SQL Server (Version 8) has any built in
table partitioning features or we need to code on partitioning the
table.
i have a table in which columns are created dynamically. Sometimes,
the total number of columns exceeds 1024 columns (max columns allowed
in a table). so the table creation fails.
Plz help me in this.

Thanks,
Sai

In general, column created dynamically smells that you should look at the datamodel, and see if you
can achieve your goal in some other way. Perhaps turning those columns into rows. But to answer your
direct question: No, there is no horizontal partitioning features in SQL Server.

I'm very surprised that a "SQL Server MVP" should say that SQL Server does
not have any horizontal partitioning features... Tibor, are you really an MVP?

SQL Server BOL has several articles on horizontal partitioning.
Also, please see this link for more info:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...titionsindw.asp

And/or do a Google search for "Sql Server" "Horizontal partitioning", and
you should find all the info you need to get going.

Best Regards,

David

Relax, that was only a typo from my side. If you read the original question, you will see that it is
about vertical partitioning. I just mistyped "horizontal" instead of "vertical".
