    Vertical partitioning involves creating tables with fewer columns and using additional tables to store the remaining columns. [2] Generally, this practice is known as normalization . However, vertical partitioning extends further, and partitions columns even when already normalized.

  6. Block Range Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Range_Index

    A Block Range Index or BRIN is a database indexing technique. They are intended to improve performance with extremely large [i] tables.. BRIN indexes provide similar benefits to horizontal partitioning or sharding but without needing to explicitly declare partitions.

  7. Shard (database architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shard_(database_architecture)

    Horizontal partitioning splits one or more tables by row, usually within a single instance of a schema and a database server. It may offer an advantage by reducing index size (and thus search effort) provided that there is some obvious, robust, implicit way to identify in which partition a particular row will be found, without first needing to search the index, e.g., the classic example of the ...

  8. Select (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Select_(SQL)

    This is also known as a Horizontal Partition, restricting rows output by a query according to specified conditions. With more than one table, the result set will be every combination of rows. So if two tables are T1 and T2, SELECT * FROM T1, T2 will result in every combination of T1 rows with every T2 rows. E.g., if T1 has 3 rows and T2 has 5 ...
