| I have a table partitioned and I want to be able to update data in a particular partition on a monthly basis but want to know the best way of going about it. Do I swap out the data into a stage table and then append the new data to the stage table and then swap the partition back into the live table? Or do I just insert into the existing partition in the live table? Thanks |

| The whole point of having partitions is that the database will maintain them, you just treat the table the same as you normally would, but it will optimise queries based on the partitions you have defined. |
