Using a List Partition

Create a new partition or change an existing partition according to whether one value in the row matches one of a set of predefined values unique for each partition.

1. In the Perspective Resources view, select the server on which the table resides, then click the drop-down arrow next to the server name and select Administration Console.
2. In the left pane of the Administration Console, expand ASE Servers > Schema Objects > Tables and select User Tables.
3. Select the table for the partition.
4. Select Properties.
5. Select Partitions.
6. Choose to create a new partition or change an existing partition.
7. In the Select Partition Strategy window, choose List.
8. In the Select Partition Key Columns window, use the arrow buttons to select one partition key column.
   List partitions use only one key column. The value in the partitioning key column is compared with values supplied in the partition specification window to determine the partition to which each row belongs.
9. In the Partition Specification window, specify the name of the partition, specify a list of discrete values, and where the partition will reside.
10. (Optional) Click Summary to verify your selected options.
