Partitioned tables in BigQuery help improve query performance, reduce scanning costs, and enable parallel processing.A partitioned table divides data into smaller segments based on a column value, optimizing performance by scanning only relevant partitions.Advantages include faster query performance, reduced scanning leading to lower costs, and increased parallelism for faster execution.Partitioning can be done based on the ingestion time, date/timestamp column, or integer column, depending on the nature of the data.
