Abstract
The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for dynamically and horizontally partitioning a table of a relational database, wherein the table comprises records, wherein the records are mapped to a plurality of states, wherein the table is horizontally partitioned into a plurality of partitions, and wherein the plurality of states is mapped to the plurality of partitions. The method comprises the steps of changing the assignment of a first record from a first state to a second state, wherein the first state is mapped to a first partition, wherein the second state is mapped to a second partition, wherein the first partition is not the second partition, and storing the first record in the second partition. The invention further relates to a computer system implementing the abovementioned method for dynamically and horizontally partitioning a table of a relational database.
