  How to use it: 
  Single-level partitioning can be used to improve the performance of SAP HANA applications. It can be used to divide large tables into smaller, more manageable chunks, which can then be stored in different physical locations. This makes it easier to access and process data quickly and efficiently.
  
  Tips & Tricks:
