Range partitioning

Range partitioning is a method used to organize data into segments based on specific ranges of values. Imagine sorting a collection of books by their publication years: you might create separate sections for books published in the 1990s, 2000s, and so on. Similarly, in databases, range partitioning divides data into partitions that contain records within defined intervals, such as dates or numbers. This makes it easier to manage, search, and analyze large datasets, as each partition can be processed individually, improving efficiency and performance when retrieving or updating information.
