Scenario: A company's database performance is degrading due to a large volume of data. How can partitioning help improve performance in this scenario?
- Enhance security by isolating sensitive data
- Improve query performance by dividing data into smaller, manageable chunks
- Reduce disk space usage by compressing data efficiently
- Streamline backup and recovery processes by separating data into manageable units
Partitioning involves dividing large tables or indexes into smaller pieces called partitions. By doing so, queries can target specific partitions, allowing for faster query performance as only relevant data is accessed. This can significantly improve database performance in scenarios with a large volume of data.
