What is table partitioning and why is it required?
Answer / Preeti Saxena
Table partitioning is a technique used in Oracle to divide large tables into smaller, more manageable parts called partitions. Partitioning improves performance by reducing I/O operations, improving query response times, and simplifying maintenance tasks such as backups and index rebuilds. It is required when dealing with massive data sets that would otherwise lead to poor performance due to the increased resources needed for searching, sorting, and managing large amounts of data.
