In a shared nothing system, at any given moment, all such inserts are processed by the single server that manages that partition (shard) of the table, possibly overwhelming it, while the rest of the system has little to do. Many such ...

    The tradeoff between availability, consistency and latency, as described by the PACELC theorem. In database theory, the PACELC theorem is an extension to the CAP theorem.It states that in case of network partitioning (P) in a distributed computer system, one has to choose between availability (A) and consistency (C) (as per the CAP theorem), but else (E), even when the system is running ...

    The PARTITION BY clause groups rows into partitions, and the function is applied to each partition separately. If the PARTITION BY clause is omitted (such as with an empty OVER() clause), then the entire result set is treated as a single partition. [4] For this query, the average salary reported would be the average taken over all rows.
