There is no fast way to split an existing table into partitions. Create a new parent table, create partitions, create the insert trigger, and then INSERT INTO newparent SELECT * FROM unpartitioned. You may want to split that into groups if you have many millions of rows.

    Hi,
    I have a question concerning the topic patitioning.

    I have a table with millions of records and I would like to
    partition it. I have already read the documentation but it could
    not answer my question.

    My question is, the following:
    Do I have to create the master and child tables and so  on before
    inserting the data or is it also possible to partition a table
    which already contains millions of records??? And how can I do
    this??? Has anybody done this before???

    Thanks.

    Andi
