2.3 <strong>BI</strong> data and <strong>DB2</strong> partitioning<br />

Database administrators often need to know which tables are going to be the<br />

largest ones because these are candidates <strong>for</strong> <strong>DB2</strong> data partitioning. While we<br />

discuss the partitioning of PSA, DSO, and cubes and all of the related specifics<br />

later in this book, candidates <strong>for</strong> partitioning along with their attributes that make<br />

them good candidates <strong>for</strong> partitioning are:<br />

► Persistent staging area (PSA) - large tables, large row size, flat table structure<br />

► Data Warehouse and Data Store Objects (DSO - listed in Figure 2-5 on<br />

page 15 as ODS) - large tables, large row size, flat table structure<br />

► Multi-dimensional models—fact tables: large tables<br />
