Enter a name for the data partition. The data partition name is optional and cannot be specified if you are using this window to create multiple data partitions by equally dividing the range specified.
Indicates that the starting value for the data partition range starts with, and includes the value specified in the starting value column. This value is ignored when the Starting type of a column is specified as Minimum or Maximum.
Indicates that the ending value for the data partition range ends with, and includes the value specified in the ending value column. This value is ignored when the Ending type of a column is specified as Minimum or Maximum.
For each table partitioning column specified, you can specify the Starting and Ending type and the Starting and Ending value. MINVALUE and MAXVALUE are specified to create open ended ranges, where an explicit value is not required for the respective Starting or Ending value field. MINVALUE represents a value smaller than any possible value for the column type being used. MAXVALUE represents a value larger than any possible value for the column type being used. If you specify Minimum as the Starting value on a table with multiple columns, all subsequent column starting types are MINVALUE. The same condition applies when MAXVALUE is specified as the Ending value for a column. If you choose VALUE as the Starting or Ending type, an explicit value must be supplied in the respective Starting or Ending value field. The rules governing when it is necessary to specify a column's Starting or Ending value as well as the values that are permissible are listed in the Help for this window.
When the data in the table is partitioned by only one column which is of a numeric or datetime datatype, you have the option to create multiple data partitions by specifying that the explicit range boundary be divided into subintervals. This is achieved by specifying a starting value for the first range, an ending value for the last range, as well as the width of each range. This allows for easy and efficient creation of data partitions.
Specify the subinterval width of each data partition range. This value must be greater than zero.
Specify the datetime datatype unit for each subinterval. One of the following must be specified:
Specify a regular and a long table space where regular and long data in the data partition will be stored respectively. Specifying regular and long table spaces is optional. If you are using this window to create multiple data partitions by equally dividing the range specified, you cannot specify a regular or long table space. It is possible to specify regular and long table spaces for all data partitions with no individual table space assignment, on the Table Space page of the Create Table wizard
Select OK to add the data partition.
