When designing tables, you must be familiar
with certain concepts, determine the space requirements for tables
and user data, and determine whether you will take advantage of certain
features, such as compression and optimistic locking.
When designing partitioned tables, you must be familiar with the
partitioning concepts, such as:
- Data organization schemes
- table-partitioning keys
- Keys used for distributing data across data partitions
- Keys used for MDC dimensions
For these and other partitioning concepts, see
Table partitioning and data organization schemes.
