While I was discussing Partitioning with one of my discussions in this week, one enthusiast asked whether how many partitions can be created per table. Before answering, I asked the same from the audience; and thought to make it as SQL Server Brain Basher of the Week.
What is the maximum number of partitions can be added to a SQL Server table?
There are two answers for this because it is based on the installation; whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. You can create 15,000 partitions if it is 64-bit version of SQL Server. If it is 32-bit version of SQL Server, only 1,000 partitions can be created.
Note that Partitioning is available only with Enterprise Edition and Developer Edition.
