Partition By Range (PBR) was introduced in Db2 9 and PBR Relative Page Numbering (RPN) was introduced in Db2 12, but they're basically the same, right? (No, or we wouldn’t have a presentation). This intermediate level presentation discusses the similarities and explains the important differences between the two partitioning schemes. We will look at some practical consequences of the different features and talk about some recent changes to further improve partition handling.
