Hi All,
We have a very large table it is about 100 GB and we are planning for partationing.
The current scenario is this Large table will have lot of updates and inserts, currently we are like facing a lot of blockages or slowness due to this.
I have below 2 questions on partitioning.
1. if we create partitioning say 3 partitions based on the Organization id on the table and store each file group on different drives, then during updates or insert will this takes exclusive Locks the entire table or only for that Partition (e.g.
if it takes the table level lock).
2. how about if all the partitions are in the Same Drive e.g D drive, will this improve the query retrieval or will it be the same performance because all the partitions are on the same drive.
Please assist
Thanks
