• Key Concepts: 
  Partitioning is a feature of the SAP Data Warehouse Cloud - Data Integration (DWC-DI) component that allows users to divide large data sets into smaller, more manageable chunks. This makes it easier to process and analyze the data, as well as to store it in a more efficient way. Partitioning can be used to improve query performance, reduce storage costs, and improve scalability. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Partitioning can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to divide data into logical groups, such as by date or geography. It can also be used to divide data into physical groups, such as by server or storage device. Partitioning can also be used to divide data into multiple tables or views, which can then be queried separately. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using partitioning, it is important to consider the size of the data set and the type of queries that will be performed on it. Partitioning should be used judiciously, as it can lead to increased complexity and overhead if not done correctly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the partitions are properly indexed and optimized for the queries that will be performed on them.
