VLDB and the Oracle Partitioning Option

The Oracle Buzz is back! This time it's coming to you from ITtoolbox.com as a Premium Blogcast sponsored by Oracle Corporation.

The Oracle Buzz is my take on the news, trends and topics that have the bloggers blogging in the world of databases. I concentrate mainly on the Oracle world but I'll also cover other topics that interest me.

In this episode I concentrate on Very Large Databases (VLDB) and partitioning. I try to give a good description of what a VLDB is and what partitioning is. I also describe the various flavors of partitioning and when to use them. I end with a few cases where partitioning was used.

As always, I welcome feedback. If you agree or don't, I'd like to hear from you.
