## The product of the number of partitions at each level exceeds 65535.

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me understand why I'm getting this error -- The product of the number of partitions at each level exceeds 65535.

This error happened when trying to add a partition.  However, when examining the table definition, the number of partitions (in my opinion) seem less than 2000:

PARTITION BY ( RANGE_N(DAY_KEY  BETWEEN 2009001  AND 2009364  EACH 1 ,

2010001  AND 2010364  EACH 1 ,

2011001  AND 2011364  EACH 1 ,

2012001  AND 2012364  EACH 1 ,

2013001  AND 2013030  EACH 1 ),RANGE_N(((HASHBUCKET(HASHROW(PARTITION_CDE ))) MOD  43 )+ 1  BETWEEN 1  AND 43

EACH 1 ,

NO RANGE) );

Would appreciate your insight on this.  Thanks.

## Re: The product of the number of partitions at each level exceeds 65535.

I think you shouldn't be receiving the error as your partitions will be within the allowed limit.

The total partitions created will be

(364 + 364 + 364 +364 + 30) * (44) = 65384.

So I guess you should be good!
