Horizontal Data Partitioning In Database Design

Summary: Horizontal data partitioning to minimize application-access costs; defines data portions and access-parameter determination. Applied to distributed DB design, memory/file partitions, and multi-device data distribution; data-access pattern identification is central. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
