hi,
what'll happen to my database performance
if i have more than 90 partition in a table?
Will it slows down the database access? or make it faster?

thx.

Yes, No, Maybe, Maybe not, all is possible.

do you mean, it is unpredictable?
if that so, is there any solution, besides using up to 90 partitions (or more) on a table?

thx.

Number of partitions is not a problem, 90 is not big, you can have thousand partitions, it all depends of how you use them.

If you are performing range-scans on non-prefixed locally partitioned indexes to find a small number of rows, then your performance will almost certainly be suffering.
