One table should do the purpose and partioning would be a very useful option to go in for and the local indexes would take care of the efficiency in terms of retreival.
More options to work in as one of the partitions goes down. The other nine would still be active and recovery could be carried on the damaged partition. Manageablility of maintaining 10 differennt tables and their associated objects is a big concern now a days. -----Original Message----- [mailto:PK_Deepa/VGIL@;vguard.satyam.net.in] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 11:58 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello We are doing database design for a project. We have 10 distinct transactions types and the total number of records is expected to be around 5,00,000 taking all transactions together.We have normalised the tables and decided to store all of them together in a single table identified by the transaction type and other unique fields. We would like to know which option would be the best so that we can retrieve data most efficiently Option-1. Maintain 10 different tables for each transaction type (i.e 500000 records will be split among 10 tables) Option-2 Store all of them together in a single table identified by the transaction type and other unique fields.
