By doing this, the query engine doesn’t have to retrieve records from other partitions, an optimization resulting in faster query execution times.
One example of this is partitioning a table by date and having the most accessed records in a single partition. However, partitioning can also speed up query performance. Partitioning has historically been done for administrative reasons-giving you the ability to load or unload data quickly from a table or move less-used data to cheaper storage. What is Partitioning?Partitioning is the process of taking one, often large, table and splitting it into many smaller tables, usually on a single server. This article will discuss the various partitioning capabilities available in Azure Database for PostgreSQL and provide best practices and insights into how crucial architecture is when it comes to optimizing performance. If the partitioning column isn’t included in such a way as to exclude unnecessary partitions from the query, performance will ultimately suffer. To do this correctly, your architecture must be designed in such a way that all query predicates and join statements include the partitioning column. Partitioning a table generally requires a single column that is used to determine how the data in the tables will be distributed. While faster queries can be a product of implementing partitioning correctly for a given design, I’ve often seen query response times get much slower from implementing partitioning incorrectly for the database design. I’ve seen many database architectures designed in an attempt to make queries faster. One of the biggest mistakes I’ve had to repeatedly help companies fix has been poor partitioning design.
