Partition with temporal tables

  • Стаття

Applies to: SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and later Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance

You can use partitioning on both the current and the history table independently. However, partitioning can't be used to change the content of the data without system-versioning.

Partitioning is an Enterprise edition feature in SQL Server 2016 (13.x) before Service Pack 1 and earlier versions. Partitioning is supported in all editions in SQL Server 2016 (13.x) with Service Pack 1, and later versions.

Partition temporal tables

This section describes how to use SWITCH IN and SWITCH OUT with temporal tables.

Current table

SWITCH IN to the current table can be used to facilitate data loading and querying while SYSTEM_VERSIONING is ON.

SWITCH OUT isn't permitted while SYSTEM_VERSIONING is ON.

History table

You can run SWITCH OUT from the history table while SYSTEM_VERSIONING is ON, to purge portions of history data that is no longer relevant.

SWITCH IN isn't allowed while SYSTEM_VERSIONING is ON, since it can invalidate temporal data consistency.
