Modify primary key for partitioning
Hi,
I want to use range partitioning for a table. Currently, this table has a primary key based on one column (not an auto-increment, but a unique varchar). In order to create the partitioning, I must add the column (datetime) I want to partition on, to the primary key. Therefore, the primary key will be less restrictive (I can have twice the same varchar if the datetime is different). A solution is to enforce a unique key on the varchar column, so that I can't get twice the same value. I'm just wondering if it's a good idea to have a column once in the primary key plus an unique index on it (mainly for the performance). What do you think of this design ? Do you have any better suggestion ?
Regards,
