List Partitioned Tables And Other Info About Them

Here is a good way to find out if any of your tables are partitioned in your database using the query below. It is important to know so that you can find out how the tables are partitioned.

— Partitioned Tables

SELECT DISTINCT t.name AS ParitionedTables

FROM sys.partitions p

INNER JOIN sys.tables t

ON p.object_id = t.object_id

WHERE p.partition_number <> 1

If you have partitioned tables here is a good way to find out how it is partitioned up.

— Get partition info

SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(o.schema_id) + ‘.’ + OBJECT_NAME(i.object_id) AS [object]

, p.partition_number AS [p#]

, fg.name AS [filegroup]

, p.rows

, au.total_pages AS pages

, CASE boundary_value_on_right

WHEN 1 THEN ‘less than’

ELSE ‘less than or equal to’ END AS comparison

, rv.value

, CONVERT (VARCHAR(6), CONVERT (INT, SUBSTRING (au.first_page, 6, 1) +

SUBSTRING (au.first_page, 5, 1))) + ‘:’ + CONVERT (VARCHAR(20),

CONVERT (INT, SUBSTRING (au.first_page, 4, 1) +

SUBSTRING (au.first_page, 3, 1) + SUBSTRING (au.first_page, 2, 1) +
