Hi Medha, The "PARTITION (S int (0hexffff00))" statement is used for scale out cluster only for the partitioning of the data across nodes and thus has no effect on single server or open source builds.
The index is created as a distinct projection of S & P compressed column wise, further details on the Virtuoso column store implementation which discusses the architecture in detail can be found at: http://sites.computer.org/debull/A12mar/vicol.pdf - Virtuoso, a Hybrid RDBMS/Graph Column Store Best Regards Hugh Williams Professional Services OpenLink Software, Inc. // http://www.openlinksw.com/ Weblog -- http://www.openlinksw.com/blogs/ LinkedIn -- http://www.linkedin.com/company/openlink-software/ Twitter -- http://twitter.com/OpenLink Google+ -- http://plus.google.com/100570109519069333827/ Facebook -- http://www.facebook.com/OpenLinkSoftware Universal Data Access, Integration, and Management Technology Providers On 19 Sep 2014, at 09:25, Medha Atre <medha.a...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I was following the RDF performance tuning tutorial on > http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/doc/dav/wiki/Main/VirtRDFPerformanceTuning > > For an index created as -- > > "CREATE DISTINCT NO PRIMARY KEY REF COLUMN INDEX RDF_QUAD_SP > ON DB.DBA.RDF_QUAD (S, P) > PARTITION (S int (0hexffff00));" > > What exactly does "PARTITION (S int (0hexffff00))" do?
