Vertical partitioning

Vertical partitioning is a data management technique where a database is divided into smaller, distinct segments based on the columns of a table rather than the rows. This means that related pieces of information (like names, addresses, or dates) are stored separately but in a structured way. This approach can improve performance by making it easier to access specific types of data quickly. It also enhances data organization and helps optimize storage by allowing more efficient retrieval and management of related information without needing to handle all columns at once.
