Abstract
A method for data partitioning method includes defining a set of category levels associated with a plurality of entities stored within a first database, wherein the set of category levels is hierarchical (e.g., proceeding from higher to lower levels). Each of the plurality of entities is assigned to a category level within the set of category levels. One or more partition keys are defined for at least one of the category levels. The plurality of entities are then copied to a second database based on the set of category levels and the one or more partition keys.
