Table Partitioning Demo

This demo walks you through the new Table Partitioning feature in IRIS SQL, explaining what it does and how it works along the way. We'll only use a few dozen rows to prove the concept, but obviously the capability is focused on datasets many orders of magnitude larger.

If you'd like a shorter, higher-level introduction to Table Partitioning, check out the online learning module Managing Tables with Partitioning in InterSystems IRIS

ℹ️ Table Partitioning is included in IRIS 2026.1 as an experimental feature

hi 😊,

i'm able to LOAD DATA in IRIS from a rather complex, say Oracle's, query. It works pretty well but requires a target table created aforehand:

LOAD DATA FROM JDBC CONNECTION SOME_OTHER_SERVER QUERY 'complex query here' INTO TargetTable

is there a way to base such target table on the same query ? 
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE seems to require a column definition which I would prefer to be taken from the query
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT seems to be for local queries and other methods, like Linked Table Wizard or %SYSTEM.SQL.Schema.
