- DISTRIBUTION
- PARTITION
Explanation
In Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pools, creating a partitioned table requires specifying both the DISTRIBUTION clause (to define how data is distributed across compute nodes, e.g., HASH, ROUND_ROBIN, or REPLICATE) and the PARTITION clause (to define the table partitioning scheme using a partition function and boundary values). The correct T-SQL syntax follows the pattern: CREATE TABLE ... WITH (DISTRIBUTION = [type], PARTITION ([column] RANGE [LEFT|RIGHT] FOR VALUES ([values]))). These two WITH clause options are specific to Synapse dedicated pools and work together to optimize query performance and data management.
