Interval Partitioning in GBase 8s: Automatic Extension and Lifecycle Management

Interval partitioning automatically creates new partitions when data exceeds the defined range, eliminating the need to manually add partitions. GBase 8s inherits this capability and extends it with concurrent storage distribution, NULL handling, and automated history cleanup — a complete partition management toolkit for a gbase database. What Is Interval Partitioning? A table starts with an initial range partition. From there, the database automatically creates new partitions at a fixed interva
