When to Partition a Table
Here are some suggestions for when to partition a table:

• Tables greater than 2GB should always be considered for partitioning.
• Tables containing historical data, in which new data is added into the newest partition. A typical example is a historical table where only the current month's data is updatable and the other 11 months are read-only.
