Vertical and Horizontal partitioning have an established meaning in database literature that does not match the way the terms were used here. Whether measure group partitions are based on a multiple separate tables, or multiple queries against a single table does not change the fact that both are "horizontal partitioning". "Vertical Partitioning" would be where some measures map to one table, and other measures map to a different table, with both tables having matching rows.

@dbrownems - Agreed. This article has probably been that way since 2005. Never too late to make things more clear. Thanks for contributing.
