Comments on: Dynamic Partitioning : Wishlist http://sqlfascination.com/2010/01/11/dynamic-partitioning-wishlist/ Weirdness and oddities within SQL Tue, 22 May 2012 20:32:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Gerzson http://sqlfascination.com/2010/01/11/dynamic-partitioning-wishlist/#comment-177 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:13:11 +0000 http://sqlfascination.com/?p=372#comment-177 I encountered a real word dynamic partitioning situation. We have a fact table in a data warehouse which stores huge amounts of fact data by month. The current month’s data changes frequently and accessed frequently, the previous months data never changes but accessed frequently and the remaining data also never changes and accessed infrequently.

We access the fact table from a partitioned SSAS cube. The Cube has 3 partitions: Current, Previous and Historic data. To be able to process the current data fast the fact table also have to be partitioned the same manner if possible. Current, previous and historic partitions would be nice to create and maintain shifting data from one to the other month by month.
