• Key Concepts: 
  Partitioning specification is a feature of SAP HANA that allows users to divide their data into smaller, more manageable chunks. This helps to improve query performance and reduce the amount of data that needs to be processed. Partitioning can be done on columns, tables, or both. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Partitioning specifications can be created in the SAP HANA Studio. To do this, select the table or column you want to partition and then click on the “Partition” button. You will then be able to specify the type of partitioning you want to use (e.g. range, hash, list). You can also specify the number of partitions you want to create and the size of each partition. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a partitioning specification, it is important to consider the type of data you are working with and how it will be used. For example, if you are working with large amounts of data that will be frequently queried, then a range partitioning may be more suitable than a hash partitioning.
