Guys,

I have 40 million row table, I would like to create a partition function based on ID where when ID between 1 to 20mill goes to filegroup1, 20mill to 40mill does to filegroup2 and anything > 40mill goes to
filegroup3. How can this be accomplished without purging and reloading data. One way to move data across multiple files in a filegorup without purgin/reloading is by recreating the clustered on filegroup,
but I am not sure how this can be accomplished with partition function without purging and reloading existing data.

Any suggestions/inputs would help.

Thanks

russell

create the clustered index on the partition function. BOL has syntax and sample statements: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188783.aspx
