Reasonable number of partitions?
Posted by: Shlomi Noach

Hello,

I'm trying to get a measurement for a reasonable number of partitions for a large table.
For example, I have a table with 100,000,000 rows. Is it reasonable to partition it by HASH with 100 partitions? 1000 partitions?
Also, is it reasonable to partition by HASH with 100 partitions, then sub partition by HASH with 100 sub partitions?

Last, is there a means to calculate an "optimal" number of partitions? What are the costs and penalties of using many partitions?

Thanks in advance,
Shlomi
