Abstract
An embodiment method for massively parallel processing includes assigning a primary key to a first table in a database and a foreign key to a second table in the database, the foreign key of the second table identical to the primary key of the first table, determining a number of partition groups desired for the database, partitioning the first table into first partitions based on the primary key assigned and the number of partition groups desired, partitioning the second table into second partitions based on the foreign key assigned and the number of partition groups desired, and distributing the first partitions and the second partitions to the partition groups as partitioned. An embodiment system for implementing the embodiment methods is also disclosed.
