RE: Building a logical file with 1 member over a physical file withmanymembers

1) Not sure, don't see any requirement for DB2 Multi-System in the SQL reference for the
"partitioning-clause" section of the Create table statement. There is a requirement for DB2
Multi-System in the "distribution-clause".

2) According to the manual, you can have 256 partitions.

I'm at v5r2, so I can't try it to make sure.

1 - Can anyone get partitioned tables to work if they do not
have the salty "DB2 Multi System" product? I have no intent
to spread my table over multiple systems but IBM decided to
limit partitioned tables to only those systems that have
that. If you can't, try submitting a DCR on that.
I went up to Rochester and brought that up to a few people.

2 - Can partitioned tables get around the limitations of 32
members? For example, if I have a column marked DIVISION and
I partition the table based on the value of DIVISION, and I
have 36 divisions will it hurl?
