Question

You are a database developer. You plan to design a database solution by using SQL Server 2008. The database will contain a table named Claims. The Claims table will contain a large amount of data. You plan to partition the data into following categories:

  • Open claims
  • Claims closed before January 1, 2005
  • Claims closed between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2007
  • Claims closed from January 1, 2008 till date

The close_date field in the Claims table is a date data type and is populated only if the claim has been closed. You need to design a partition function to segregate records into the defined categories. What should you do?
