Splitting of a partition item is available on interval partition items and partition items that are assigned a list of values. To split a partition item:

This section has the following subsections:

Splitting a Collection Partition Item

In splitting a collection partition item, each element of the collection becomes an independent partition item whose branch is the duplication of the split partition item.

In the following example, the selection is a collection partition item that contains Silver and Platinum. When this collection partition item is split (Figure 12.38), two partition items are created: one for Silver and one for Platinum, as shown in Figure 12.39. Note that the action set of the split partition item has been duplicated for the two new partition items.

Splitting a partition item that is an interval creates two new interval partition items:

Other values are left empty. The branch of the initial split interval is duplicated for the two new partition items.

In the following example, the 0 - 10 interval is split (Figure 12.40), resulting in the table shown in Figure 12.41.
