Which is better sharding or partitioning?
I'm trying to decide between sharding and partitioning for my database. I'm not sure which one is more suitable for my needs. Could someone explain the differences and advantages of each so I can make an informed decision?
Is partitioning the same as shard?
I'm trying to understand the difference or similarity between partitioning and sharding. Are they the same concept or do they have distinct meanings in database management and scaling?
