Subj:   Re: Table partitioning
 
From:   Paul Johnson

I would look long and hard at your archive strategy before you go down the route of breaking tables into smaller chunks. This approach is very un-Teradata and will only increase your administration workload and query complexity in the long-run. Sites like Walmart and SBS have massive databases with several terabytes of data and I'd be very surprised if they indulge in breaking up tables to facilitate archiving. There are many ways to 'skin the cat' when it comes to archiving - this is where I'd focus your attention.

Paul Johnson.
