# Partitioning data over tables

The Table output step (double-click the step to open it) supports partitioning rows of data to different tables. When configured to accept the table name from a **Partitioning field**, the PDI client will output the rows to the appropriate table. You can also **Partition data per month** or **Partition data per day**. To ensure that all the necessary tables exist, we recommend creating them in a separate transformation.
