When you repartition data files, you can create a table for the repartitioned data files. Create a table if you do not want to register the repartitioned data files to the original archived table. You specify the table name when you repartition the data files. The Data Vault uses the structure of the original archived table to create the table.

The original archived table and data files remain. The Data Vault repository still contains the registration of the original data files to the original archived table. You can configure queries to read data from the original archived table or the new table. If you want existing queries to read data from the new table, you must update the table reference in the query.
