Purely for convenience,all of these are stored on the same disk volume but, in a real-world scenario, you'dprobably put all these files on different disk volumes.Next, we're going to create two partitions to store the FILESTREAM data. Listing 7-29shows the partition function and partition schemes to do this, assuming we're going topartition the table by the ID column. Take a look at the code and then we'll discuss howit works.300
