Data partitioning?

hi,

I am becoming more and more convinced that in order to achieve the
required performance and scalability I need to split my data amoungst
many backend machines.

Ideally I would start with about 10 machine and have 1/10th of the data
on each. As the data set grows I would then buy additional machines to
spread the data over.

I think this is called data partitioning in oracle?
What does postgresql have to offer in this area?

Does software already exist to query multiple identical schemas each
with different data stored in them, and then correlate the results?

If not what suggestions does anyone have for writing my own?

Thanks,
Mat

How much data do you have, and what are you trying to run on? That
sounds like a _lot_. In any case, you can't do this in PostgreSQL
right now. A single back end controls all the data.

Usually people mean spreading tables across different disks by some
criteria when they talk about that. Completely different machines is
pretty usual.

Be very careful. Multi-database concurrency problems are easy to
cause and hard to solve.

Hi all, I'd like to have you opinion about the following performance/design issue: a logging system is generating a lot of records every our,(about 500k/day) I need to store them in a huge Oracle RAC system a Java web application connects to the data and executes queries on them, mainly on last entered set of records queries on informations stored more then 3 months ago are quite rare

I'm sure this is a concept that's been explored here. I have a table (fairly simple, just two columns, one of which is a 32-digit checksum) with several million rows (currently, about 7 million). About a million times a day we do select * from my_table where md5 = ? to verify presence or absence of the row, and base further processing on that information.

In Oracle we can partition a table as follows. What is the equivalent in DB2? CREATE TABLE sales_list (salesman_id NUMBER(5), salesman_name VARCHAR2(30), sales_state VARCHAR2(20), sales_amount NUMBER(10), sales_date DATE) PARTITION BY LIST(sales_state) (

Hi, this is just to verify: I checked the documentation and it seems that SQL 2005 does not support hash partitioning on a number of columns. As far as I can see only range partitioning is supported. Also, it seems SQL 2005 only supports partitioning on a single column. Is that true or did I miss something? Kind regards

DB2 V8.2 (not Viper yet and no range partitioning!!) I have created a table T1 (col1, col2) with col1 as the primary key. When I try to create a partitioning key on col2, it gives me error that it should have all primary keys included. So, I created table T1 again with col2 as the partitioning key. Now, I do not have col1 as the primary key. When I try to create col1 as the primary key, I get the following error: 1 The primary key, each...

According to the original whitepaper on UDB range partitioning (http:// www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/0202zuzarte/ 0202zuzarte.pdf), you can use a range as a criteria, either in the UNION ALL view or in constraints. One restriction it lists, though, is that the optimizer can't use a constraint that references a range versus a discrete value for SQL containing host variables or parameter markers. That was for V7 and...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
