Hi Jon,

This should work:

select c.name
from sys.partitions sp
JOIN sys.index_columns ic
ON ic.object_id = sp.object_id
JOIN sys.columns c
ON c.OBJECT_ID = ic.OBJECT_ID AND c.column_id = ic.column_id
WHERE sp.object_id = object_id(‘PartitionedOrders’)

That’s great. How do I find the column name that the table uses in the partition? i.e. where does sql server record that it is the DueDate column (see below) that is used by the partition schema.

create table PartitionedOrders
(
Id int not null identity(1,1),
DueDate DateTime not null,
) on YearPS(DueDate)
