table partitioning

  • Hi Experts,

    Can we use same partition scheme and partition function for different tables in same schema ?

    I got 5 large tables to be partitioned in a specific schema in a database, i used a partition function and scheme for the first tabled can i use it for remainning 4 tables, i am partitioning the table on a column called check_key, do i need to have same columna in all five tables in order to use same partition scheme and function or do i need to create a seperate new scheme and function for each table(5 tables)

    please help

  • yes, providing all the tables have the same column. Not sure it's necessarily a good idea, but you can do it.
