That means I am exploring new territory, which is good. Of course, there
is a possibility the design could be done in a different way so as not to
need that many partitions. But I asked on this list a some of months ago
about tips on how to design this data model and what I came up with was
what I have today.
The problem is the work is proprietary and confidential, so its difficult
for me to explain in detail what I want to do. But you could look at my
previous post asking the question for the descriptions of the problem I
want to solve.
