Workload Partitioning

Workload partitioning gives businesses the flexibility of assigning data ownership at the table-partition level, rather than within an application.

The following figure illustrates workload partitioning.

The replication model matches the partition model for the employee tables. The Asia-Pacific database server owns the partition and can therefore update, insert, and delete employee records for personnel in its region. The changes are then propagated to the US and European regions. The Asia-Pacific database server can query or read the other partitions locally, but cannot update those partitions locally. This strategy applies to other regions as well.
