    Partition issue

    all,
    I wish to partition a table by day. I hear you can do it based on day of the week?.
    Has anyone ever done this? Can anyone post a pointer script? or anything that helps.
    Thanks...

    Table has to be recreated/repopulated as partitioned.
    Carefully choose you partitioning strategy... most probably range or list on described scenario.
    Be sure partitioning strategy helps during archiving/purging and/or querying.
    Carefully choose indexing strategy... global, local parititioned indexes depending on table functionality and business specs.
