RE: Building a logical file with 1 member over a physical filewithmanymembers -- MIDRANGE-L

Spoke too soon....

Found this in the infocenter:
"You must have DB2 Multisystem installed on your system to take advantage of partitioned tables
support."

Don't know why the SQL reference doesn't mention it as a requirement for the "partitioning-clause" but
does for the "distribution-clause" of the CREATE TABLE statement.

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?
