I am creating partition function and schemes.

In SQL Server 2008, it only defines range partitioning and not list partitions.

Dont we have list partitioning in SQL Server?

I am using SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition.

There is no List Partitioning in SQL Server 2008. But you can fake it into creating one using the LEFT clause.

What about hash partition?

AFAIK Hash Partitioning is not implemented in SQL 2008.

It was originally planned (syntax for it existed in the early betas) but it was dropped halfway through the beta period. Wish I could share details on why.
