I experienced the same problem with Decimal(12,10) and finally was able to get the expected results by using a Char(12) column definition for the TeraData stage. :?

Would anyone (Ray :wink: ) know what role, if any, the column defined "key" plays in the creation of the dataset? Is there any reason that they should match the hash key for the partition?

Thanks!

Getting back to the original problem posted: getting the microseconds moved into the database table , we have found a simple solution: in a transform, change the datatype from Timestamp to Char(26) for the link to the db stage, even though the actual table is defined as Timestamp. This works, at lea...

This may be obvious but make sure you aren't resetting or recompiling the sequences. When the sequence is in abort/restartable status, you do not reset or recompile, just restart the sequence after fixing the failed job.

It's obvious they don't post for monetary compensation but now that DSX receives $50/year from each "charter" member, why not share the wealth with those who really earn it! I.M.H.O.

I would expect that a little $$ compensation would help keep the top posters posting; expecially now that is costs $$ to view their posts!

The hash file is primarily used for lookups in transforms but also a great way of eliminating duplicate rows based on the key columns (destructive ov...

I would put a debug stop on the output link, run the job in debug mode and check the input data.

I created the routine using your code and got expected results everytime - but then, I had control over the input date strings!
