I'm curious if there are any "rules of thumb" about when to consider moving to Oracle partitioning. What warning signs could one look for in a non-partitioned server that might indicate a need for Oracle partitioning?
Our largest table is 2.8GB. I've worked in shops with unpartitioned tables as large as 12GB. (I know some of you work in shops with tables much larger than that)
When considering Oracle partitioning, what questions should be asked before jumping into it?
