3482330 - Understanding the PARTNAMES Parameter in SAP HANA Table Partition Specification

During the process of converting a table on SAP HANA from range partitioning to hash partitioning, a query that includes the PARTNAMES parameter emerges in the table partition specification tab.

The query appears as follows:

PARTITION BY HASH ("column_name")
PARTITIONS X WITH PARAMETERS ('PARTNAMES'=('name1','name2','...','nameX'))

However, the user had not included the PARTNAMES clause in their original repartitioning query and is seeking clarification as to what the PARTNAMES parameter corresponds to.
