Partitioning an existing table in sql server 2008

  • Hi,

    I have a table of 600 million data. This table will grow monthly. We do monthly data load to this table.

    Column which i will use is LoadMonth. this will have the value like '201301','201304','201305'

    I would like to do a partitioning in this table.

    Please help me on this, what are the approaches/steps to create the partition.

    Regards,

    Karthik.

    what are the approaches/steps to create the partition.

    Books Online has good guidance for creating a partitioned table:

    Building up on previous post, there is a very nice paper published on SQLServerCentral too, please check http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/partition/64740/
