Partitioning V schema

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi List

I am looking for some general advice about the best was of splitting a large data table,I have 2 different choices, partitioning or different schemas.

The data table refers to the number of houses that can be include in a city, as such there are large number of records.


I am wondering if decided to partition the table if the update speed/access might be faster that just declaring a different schema per city.

Under the partition the data table would appear to be smaller, so I should get an increase in speed, but the database still have to do some sort of indexing.

If I used different schemas, it resolves data protection issues, but doing a backup might become a nightmare

In general which is the fast access method?

regards


Dave.
