Testimonials

David Boccabella: "I am getting my manager to purchase your excellent product in a couple of day. It has really proved useful with working with the advanced features of MySQL".

Torstein Krogh: "Some time ago, I tested all available tools on the market for maintaining MySQL and MySQL Maestro came up on top. My opinion is that MySQL should offer it as a free tool for all paying customers! They have nothing today, and doing MySQL DOS commands is not getting any new customers".

Return to chapter overview

Partitioning (implemented in MySQL 5.1) allows you to distribute portions of individual tables across a filesystem according to rules which you can set largely as needed. In effect, different portions of a table are stored as separate tables in different locations. For more information about partitioning type see: Create Table Wizard.

The Partition Properties window orders to define all necessary options for the new partition such as partition Name, Comment, Value and Max Value for LESS THAN operator (Range partitions). You can also set here a comma-separated list of integers as Values of List partition.
