Partitioning Existing Tables

Question

How do I partition existing table in SQL Server 2005/08? I couldn't find a better clue on it.

Answer 1

Here is a full article on how to do this. (Create table, insert data, then partition)

Trick is to move the table to the new partition.

DROP INDEX MyTable_IXC ON MyTable WITH (Move To [Data Partition Scheme] (ID) )
