Hey Guys,

I have 10 tables of Individuals info (id, street address, city, state, ...) broken down by starting digit of Zipcode... 0..9. I need to break these 10 tables into 50 tables 1 for each state ... Each state will have its own table... What is the best way to do this?

Thanks a lot for your time and assistance.

Create 40 more tables then move data with 'inster into ... select * from ... where state = ...'.

Like I said on the "other" forum, you'r eopening yourself up to a real world of hurt... unless you happen to make a partitioned view, as well.
