What happens when a Default partition is not set up

  • Hi,

    If I have a cube with datasourceview definition queries selecting the complete data from the fact table, but my partitions set up only for current year and last year. what would happen to the rest of the data. Would that be in the cube. If not, would that affect the processing time? Please advise if anyone knows.

    Thanks,

    If you do not have a partition that covers the rest of the data then no, it won't be in the cube. In terms of processing time then it could make it faster - it all depends on the setup of your table (indexes, partitions etc.). It would stand to reason that less data = less processing time but if you're limiting the data with a query it may not always be the case!
