Convert a nonpartitioned table into a partitioned table

edited Feb 10, 2010 8:18PM in Database DataWarehousing (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered
 Hi all,

I have a big nonpartitioned table and want to convert it into a partitioned table.

I've read about "exchange partition" method but I would like to know if someone has any experience on this that can share advantage and disadvantages of this. The article just shows a simple scenario and I would like to cover errors or troubleshouting.

What I am trying to check is if this process will need extra disk space or if it will take to much as I don't have enough for now.

Is this a process that can affect database performance?

Is there any other method I can use instead of exchanging partition? If there is one, what are the advantages and disadvantages.

Howdy, Stranger!
