Hi Peter,

Seems correct according to the following Now Support page.

  • Table per partition - Creates one database table for the parent class, which stores all records for the parent and child classes. Child classes do not have separate database tables. As the database table reaches a storage limit, the system dynamically adds storage tables (partitions) to store additional records.

Also check the following Now Support page. TPP (Table Per Partition) is supported in CMDB hierarchy. Task and other tables have different table structure.

serviceNow, at present, how much storage limit is set before dynamically adding storage tables (partitions) to store additional records
