Database Partitioning

Database partitioning is a method used to improve the performance and manageability of large databases. It involves dividing a database into smaller, more manageable pieces called "partitions." Each partition can hold a subset of the data, which makes it easier to access and query. For example, if a database holds customer information, you might partition it by regions or time periods. This approach helps speed up data retrieval, reduces the load on the system, and simplifies maintenance tasks, making it faster and more efficient to work with large sets of information.
