Tips for Using and Installing Partitioning
• Determine if Partitioning is needed.
Partitioning is complicated to maintain and has performance impacts that may
not be acceptable to all businesses. (The performance impacts are due to the
fact that, when attempting to access the database, it may be that many security
codes generated by Partitioning must be checked.)
• Determine what data must be protected.
• Organize the tasks that need to be performed
Tasks may include Scripting, handling Peripheral configuration in certain
locations, and so on.
• Create a Group for each task and add Users to the appropriate Group or
Groups for their tasks.
Users may come and go, but it is likely that a task will remain more constant.
If a User is assigned to individual Objects throughout the database, it can
become difficult to remember why. A well-defined Group can be helpful so
that when a User leaves the company a different User can be given access to
perform the tasks of the departed User.
• Make use of Feature Control to limit Users from running certain
configuration tools.
