I recall reading last year that GP tables should be partitioned by transaction year for performance and maintainability, and I was sure it was a Microsoft whitepaper, but I can't seem to find it again. Our database can't really be that large (only 60GB) but some operations are causing blocking.
Our GP specialists recommended archiving all the old transactions to an "archive" install of GP, but I don't see why proper partitioning shouldn't have the same effect.
Can anyone provide guidance one way or the other with regards to partitions and filetables? Whitepapers for best practice would also be appreciated.
