My expeience was that partitioning improves the read. But updates/insert
operations
Were slow compared to non-partitioned table.

Hi, gurus!

Any one had a positive experience with using partitioning/parallel
select on a small-ish databases? I am getting desperate ...
Must improve performance of one query, which performs decently, but I am
asked to "improve", and seems like no matter what I try I am hitting a
wall.
I know my question is too generic, and it is all too
environment-dependent...so I am looking for an inspiration! Any war
stories appreciated.

Thanks,
Jenny
