Range Partitioning Setup

Welcome to range partitioning! This technique divides a large table into smaller, more manageable pieces called partitions.

Range partitioning is especially useful for data that has a natural order, like time-series data (e.g., logs, sensor readings) or data with sequential IDs.

With range partitioning, rows are distributed into partitions based on a 'partition key' column's value falling within a specified range.

• Partition Key: The column used to determine which partition a row belongs to (e.g., created_at timestamp).
• Ranges: Defined boundaries (e.g., 'January to March', 'IDs 1-1000').
