Exercises - Partitioning Tables
Here is the exercise to get comfortable with partitioning. We will be using range partitioning to partition a table in the retail database.
- Use the retail database and ensure the orders table exists.
- Reset the database by following the provided commands.
- Connect to the retail database using the provided credentials.
psql -U itversity_retail_user \
-h localhost \
-p 5432 \
-d itversity_retail_db \
-W
- Run the SQL commands to recreate the tables and load the data.
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS order_items;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS orders;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS customers;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS products;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS categories;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS departments;
\i /data/retail_db/create_db_tables_pg.sql
\i /data/retail_db/load_db_tables_pg.sql
Exercise 1
Create a new table named orders_part with the same columns as the existing orders table.
- Partition the table by month using range partitioning on the order_date column.
- Add 14 partitions - 13 based on the data and 1 default partition.
Exercise 2
Load and validate data in the partitioned table orders_part.
- Transfer data from the orders table into the orders_part table.
- Get the count of records in orders_part and across all 14 partitions, ensuring correct distribution of data.
By completing these exercises, readers will gain practical experience in partitioning tables and handling data distribution effectively.
