Does SQL Server move records between partitions when updating the partition key column?

If I run an UPDATE query on a table which is partitioned by the column I am updating - will the records be moved to another partition?

ie. I have a table where Historical bit column marks whether a particular record should go to Partition1 (=0) or Partition2 (=1). Now, I update a record in that table and change the Historical column value from 0 to 1. What happens with that record?

It will move to the other partition.

Thanks,|||Thank you. That's the kind of behavior I was looking for.

Does SP4 client work OK with SP3a server?

Can a SQL2000 SP4 client connect without problems to a SQL2000 SP3a server?
We are planning on updating all the client pcs to SP4 before we upgrade the
servers.
Thanks

servers. In SP4, Microsoft upgraded the debugger to use the .NET
framework. Other than that, there should be no problems.
