8.6.4.4.2 Partition Structures

The structures of business data partitions and market data partitions differ in the following ways:

• Business data partitions are predefined so that weekdays (Monday through Friday) are business days, and Saturday and Sunday are weekly off-days. Business data tables use all partitioning types.

  However, you can use the Calendar Manager Utility to configure a business calendar as desired. See Calendar Manager Utility, for more information.

• Market data partitions hold a single day of data. The partitions use the PYYYYMMDD convention, where YYYYMMDD is the date of the partition.
