Re: How to partition a table ? - suggestions

Orna, I would start by building compressed indexes (if you have support for that in your version of Oracle) or Index-organized tables.. You might also consider hashing the key.
I would find some way to log the searches for a while and see which ranges of names get more frequent searches, then use that information to determine the best ranges for partitioning. HTH Orna Berlinsky wrote:
