Didn't get your question clearly? Yes, SQL server 2005 has table partition which is only supported in Enterprise edition.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

For LEFT

1st partition is all data <= ‘20070101’

2nd partition is all data > ‘20070101’


For RIGHT

1st partition is all data < ‘20070101’

2nd partition is all data => ‘20070101’


Check out Microsoft White paper and test it:

few questions about paration's :
1)if i already have a table - do i need to delete it to build it with paratition's?
if not what do i need to do so it will support paratitioning?
2)i want to build paratitions in ranges for each date, for example :
20080526000000 to 20080526235959 (day)
20080527000000 to 20080527235959 (day)
and so on.........
how can i create this paration's dynamicly,and how do i delete old paratitions?

the reason that i ask about it, its beacuse when i tried to
chaghe the paratition few times i must use :
ALTER PARTITION SCHEME MyPartitionScheme NEXT USED [PRIMARY]
else i am getting this error :
quote:

Msg 7707 :
The associated partition function 'MyPartitionRange' generates more partitions than there are file groups mentioned in the scheme 'MyPartitionScheme'.


and the solution was to do :

ALTER PARTITION SCHEME MyPartitionScheme NEXT USED [PRIMARY]
ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION MyPartitionRange () split RANGE (10)
ALTER PARTITION SCHEME MyPartitionScheme NEXT USED [PRIMARY]
ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION MyPartitionRange () split RANGE (12)
