Creating a partitioned table in Azure SQL Database requires three steps in sequence: first, create a partition function which defines how rows are mapped to partitions based on a column's values; second, create a partition scheme which maps the partition function's partitions to filegroups (or PRIMARY in Azure SQL); and third, create the table using that partition scheme to physically organize the data. This sequence is mandatory because each object depends on the previous one - the scheme references the function, and the table references the scheme.
