I’d like to know your opinions about partitioning the following table. Here’s the relevant snippet:
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `prod_price` ( `prod_price_id` varchar(15) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `prod_id` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL, … PRIMARY KEY (`prod_price_id`), KEY `prod_id` (`prod_id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 Here’s the deal. The primary key, `prod_price_id`, is rarely used. Prices, as you might expect, are fetched by `prod_id`. Both keys are randomly generated strings. (Before you ask, I am not a mental health professional and am therefore not qualified to judge my predecessor.) How could I partition this table in a useful way?
