It's not a nice idea to use partition in your product.

Hi,

Hello,

I looked in the MySQL documentation for 5.1 and it doesn't say they will have range and list features for 5.1.

Based on this page in the 5.1 documentation <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/partitioning-limitations- storage-engines.html> it says that 5.1 will only have key partitioning.

Can you elaborate a little bit more on what you mean by them being unsupported beta features and do you think they will be supported features when 5.1 comes out or are they only working on them for 6.0 or some other release?

It means that they work but aren't supported, and to use them you need to start the server with --new (for using new unsupported features).

Thank you,

Hi!

Range and list partitioning are unsupported beta features in 5.1, see test cases in test suite.

Not exactly like you can with MyISAM, no http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/partitioning-limitations- storage-engines.html

some other info here: http://mikaelronstrom.blogspot.com/2005/10/default-partitioning- of-mysql-cluster.html

Can I partition an NDB table like I could with MyISAM tables? I looked this up but I didn't see it anywhere regarding ndb tables.
