What is partition, how will you implement it? : sql server analysis services, ssas

Answer Posted / Vipin Chaudhary

Partitioning in SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is a method used to break down a large cube into smaller manageable pieces called partitions. This improves processing performance and response time for the cube by parallelizing calculations. Implementing partition involves creating partitions within a dimension or a fact table, defining the partition function and filter criteria for each partition, and then associating these partitions with the corresponding cube object. The syntax for creating a partition is CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION followed by CREATE PARTITION SCHEME and finally ALTER DATABASE SET PARTITION FUNCTION and ALTER TABLE with SWITCH TO PARTITION commands.
