Re: SQL views over multi member physical file

Question: how do you determine what data goes in what member?

The reason I ask, If you create an SQL DDL defined "partitioned" table, the
table is actually implemented as a multi-member physical file.

select * from table

actually returns all data in all members in that case. No alias needed.

Downside: you have to have the DB2 Multisystem license program (5722-ss1
option 27) installed which is a extra $$$ option.

Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V5r4
We have a multi-member file (presently 16 members - but can increase)
There is a need is to create individual SQL views over each of these
members
I understand/know about alias's, but from what I have
googled/yahoo'ed/searched, it looks like I cannot create a view over an
alias
Question 1 - is this in fact true?

Question 2 - In creating the alias (or view for that matter), is there a
way to limit the alias (or view for that matter) to the LAST n records?

As always - any and all responses gratefully accepted
