Partitioning was implemented to address an older topic to this forum;

The 30K tables have never been a problem (2.5 years of operation) without partitioning, although I know the number of files will now increase by a factor of roughly 25. I'm running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the JFS file system. Why do you suggest the number of file descriptors may be a problem? I believe the limit on Linux is huge and I run on dedicated systems, not having to worry about other applications.

Not much pruning happens as inserts dominate over selects in this system. I average about one or two selects per minute, as opposed to 3,000 inserts per second. Insert are always made to the most recent partition since they are range partitioned by date and inserts are real-time collected data.
