Partition's can be done on both relational and flat files.
Informatica supports following partitions
1.Database partitioning
2.RoundRobin
3.Pass-through
4.Hash-Key partitioning
5.Key Range partitioning
All these are applicable for relational targets.For flat file only database partitioning is not applicable.
Informatica supports Nway partitioning.U can just specify the name of the target file and create the partitions, rest will be taken care by informatica session.
