What's wrong with partitioning by placedon, with a primary key of (betid, placedon)? - this is because the business
needto run group by queries based on these brands. For now, there are 4 brands and in future it could go up to 7.
Yes, I agree there could be a collision with the current pk structure, which got me to a thought - " Can we create pk
of(brandid,placedon, betid)" ? coz I'ven't check it yet. Got to test first.

You could still partition by placedon... Partitioning by brandid is not much help with rotating out old data.
Why the change in primary key? In fact, your primary key in that example is not guaranteed unique--if I'm reading this
correctlythere is a chance of collision.
