SPLIT RANGE is used to create a new partition by defining a new boundary value;
MERGE RANGE is used to remove an existing partition at the specified boundary an
d to move any existing records to another partition.
15-4. Removing a Partition
Utilize the ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION statement to remove a partition and merge t
he data in that partition into
another partition.
15-5. Determining Whether a Table Is Partitioned

SELECT p.partition_id,
p.object_id,
p.partition_number
