Database Partitioning/Evidence
Method evidence record

Database Partitioning

Database partitioning is a technique for dividing large tables across multiple physical storage units or servers to improve performance and scalability. Developed in the context of distributed databases, partitioning allows individual queries to access smaller subsets of data, reducing I/O and enabling horizontal scaling as data grows.
