Database partitioning A partitioned database environment is a database installation that supports distribution of the data across database partitions. A multi-partition database is a database with two or more database partitions. A database partition consists of a portion of a database with its own data, indexes, configuration files, and transaction logs. Distributing your data across multiple database partitions allows you to leverage the power of multiple processors on multiple computers to satisfy requests for information.
You can use the Database Partitions launchpad to guide you through the tasks necessary to add
database partitions to an instance, assign the newly added database partitions to database partition
groups in the databases that are in the instance, and then redistribute data in the database
partition groups.
