Hi Christian,

Derby does not support partitioned tables. I think you will need to write your own logic to divide the attachments among many buckets--the buckets could either be a growing number of tables inside the database or files outside the database. Regardless of how you implement the buckets, table functions may be able to hide some of the complexity when you SELECT the attachments. You may be able to use database procedures to hide some of the complexity of INSERTing into the buckets.

Hope this helps,

Hi,
the maximum size of a table is the maximum file size of the underlying operating system (e.g.: 2 GB). For data with a size of 10 MB I would reach the limit with about 200 entries. The data once in the table needs only be read (attachments of messages). Perhaps the new table function can be used to show the content of the filesystem as a table, when the attachments are stored outside of the database. Is there a way to distribute a table over more than one file or another solution?

Any solution is appreciated!
Thanks
Christian
