table partitioning - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Table partitioning is a feature of SAP HANA that allows for the division of large tables into smaller, more manageable parts. This helps to improve query performance and reduce the amount of memory needed to store the data. Table partitioning can be used to divide tables by date, customer, or other criteria. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Table partitioning can be used in SAP HANA by creating a partitioned table using the CREATE TABLE statement. The table can then be divided into partitions using the PARTITION BY clause. The partitions can then be further divided into sub-partitions using the SUBPARTITION BY clause. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a partitioned table, it is important to consider the size of each partition and how it will affect query performance. It is also important to consider how often the data in each partition will need to be updated or accessed.
