Type of tables specific to hologres_
Parent Partitioned Table
A logical table that divides data into smaller, more manageable pieces called partitions
- Each partition is a separate physical table, but queries can target the parent table to access all partitions or specific ones
 
Use Cases
- Managing large datasets, especially time-series or batch data
 - Improving query performance by scanning only relevant partitions
 
Foreign Table
A table that references data stored outside Hologres, such as in an external database or file system (e.g., MaxCompute, OSS, or PostgreSQL)
Hologres can query the data in the foreign table as if it were stored locally, but the data remains in the external system
Use Cases
- Querying data from external systems without needing to import it into Hologres
 - Integrating with other data sources for federated queries Example: Querying data stored in MaxCompute or OSS (Object Storage Service) directly from Hologres
