Deepak, Sandeep,
As Sandeep had mentioned, all the queries will
definitely have acct_id. But he didn't mention whether
cr_date will also 'always' be there.
my point was very simple. By the decision about the partitioning I would
additionally consider the following:
if the time dimension (cr_date) consists of a large number of distinct
values (e.g. timestamps) it is better to assign it as a range partition key.
if some dimension is used alternatively with BETWEEN predicates it is better
to assign it as a range partition key. A between predicate could be quit
common for time dimension.
But yes of course in special case if the time dimension has a fixed
granularity (e.g. monthly) and you get one new account per month on average,
there is no really a big difference between those two dimensions.
Regards,
Jaromir
