DataParcelAttribute AreaName Property NFX Class Library

[This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.]

Specifies the Areaname - the logical subdivision in the store where parcels reside within the schema(see SchemaName): i.e. 'commonClinicalData'. Depending on a particular store setup this logical name may or may not represent physical servers/locations in the store. Every store implementation maps logical paths to physical servers and/or shards. This feature provides very high degree of distributed database design flexibility, as some parcels may represent common/dictionary data that does not need to be sharded, whereas others may represent purely transactional high-volume data that needs to be sharded. The value is required and is always specified or exception is thrown in .ctor

Property Value

Remarks

Keep in mind that in a distributed database system various parcels may be stored not only in different locations, be optionally sharded, and even be stored in different back-end technologies (i.e. NoSQL/RDBMS/flat files)
