I have a table that contains records of transactions with ID column is primary key
I use partition follow ID column, each partition have 1 million records.
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [pfTBLTRANS_ID](int) AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (1000000, 2000000, 3000000, 4000000, 5000000, 6000000, 7000000, 8000000, 9000000, 10000000)
CREATE PARTITION SCHEME [psTBLTRANS_ID] AS PARTITION [pfTBLTRANS_ID] TO ([GROUP01], [GROUP02], [GROUP03], [GROUP04], [GROUP05], [GROUP06], [GROUP07], [GROUP08], [GROUP09], [GROUP10], [GROUP11])
But now I have more records with IDs that are greater than 11.000.000. So how can I add more partitions to this table ?
Thanks

ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION, ALTER PARTITION SCHEME, then ALTER TABLE with the same partition scheme.

Do you mean clause
ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION ... SPLIT RANGE ( ....);
But I want to add more range, not split
Could you please give me detail SQL command of ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION and ALTER PARTITION SCHEME at that case (I want to add more 5 partitions)
Thanks

Yes, I can and I will, if you post or mail me your current partion scheme.
Happy New Year!

Yes Sir
It's here
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [pfTBLTRANS_ID](int) AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (1000000, 2000000, 3000000, 4000000, 5000000, 6000000, 7000000, 8000000, 9000000, 10000000)

Thanks

Try following commands on Test Server... Once satisfied move it PROD.
ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION [pfTBLTRANS_ID]()
SPLIT RANGE (11000000) -- New Range
GO
ALTER PARTITION SCHEME [psTBLTRANS_ID]
NEXT USED [ filegroup_name ] [ ; ] -- New File Group for the Partition

You've beaten me to it, Dev - thanks!
January 2, 2012 at 10:08 am
Thanks a lot, it work well
Just funny that when I create SQL command from partition scheme in SQL Studio Management
The sequence of groups is not in correct order
CREATE PARTITION SCHEME [psTBLTRANS_ID] AS PARTITION [pfTBLTRANS_ID] TO ([GROUP01], [GROUP02], [GROUP03], [GROUP04], [GROUP05], [GROUP06], [GROUP07], [GROUP08], [GROUP09], [GROUP10], [GROUP12], [GROUP11])

I was wondering if you got the answer to your question about adding new partitions w/o splitting the the range ?
How do you add many partitions to an existing table?
Thx

You always have to modify the partitioning scheme and ALTER the table. The ALTER statement rejiggles all partitions, whether they already exist or have been just added.

ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION [pfTBLTRANS_ID]()
SPLIT RANGE (11000000) -- New Range
GO
ALTER PARTITION SCHEME [psTBLTRANS_ID]
NEXT USED [ filegroup_name ] [ ; ] -- New File Group for the Partition
These two commands should be issued in the reverse order: set the NEXT USED partition before performing the SPLIT.

Thanks for your reply,I need to add 20 additional partitions to an existing table , do I have execute those commands 20 times
and then Alter the partitioned table to use the Altered PF and PS functions?
thx

You can ALTER (redefine)( the function and the scheme in one shot, and then use the updated scheme to ALTER table.
Chances are it will be faster than modifying the function and schema in single shots. (Your individual mileage may vary.)

The following script demonstrates how this works, read the comments and run each statement one at a time:
USE tempdb
GO
-- Two boundaries = three ranges
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION PF(integer) AS RANGE RIGHT
FOR VALUES (1000, 5000);
GO
-- All to [PRIMARY] just to make the test easier
CREATE PARTITION SCHEME PS AS PARTITION PF ALL TO ([PRIMARY]);
GO
-- Test table
CREATE TABLE dbo.Partitioned
(
IntValue integer NOT NULL,
StringValue varchar(50) NOT NULL,
DateValue date NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK dbo.Partitioned IntValue]
PRIMARY KEY (IntValue)
ON PS (IntValue)
);
GO
-- Test data
INSERT dbo.Partitioned
(IntValue, StringValue, DateValue)
VALUES
(999, '100', '2012-01-01'),
(1999, '200', '2012-01-02'),

(4999, '500', '2012-01-05'),
(5999, '600', '2012-01-06');
GO

SELECT
p.partition_number,
p.rows
FROM sys.partitions AS p
WHERE p.object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.Partitioned')
ORDER BY

-- Tidy up
DROP TABLE dbo.Partitioned;
DROP PARTITION SCHEME PS;
DROP PARTITION FUNCTION PF;

There is no real "adding a partition," it is always splitting it. Remember that the last partition in the scheme contains all data >(= depending on left or right) boundary. So in this case, if 11,000,000 was the highest boundary then the last partition would hold all data >(=) 11,000,000. So, that partition has to be split because it contains all values to the limit of the data type. Make sense?
