Partitioning in Oracle. What? Why? When? Who? Where? How?

Business applications are growing at a faster rate than salaries, and so is the data supporting them, especially e-business applications where the data growth has been around 20-30 percent or more annually. Oracle came up with the idea of Partitioning the Tables. Yes ! The name sounds right “Partitioning”, the literal meaning of Partitioning is “The Act of dividing something into parts” and in our case that ‘something’ is nothing but…?
You guessed it right! Data.
