My guess is that that SQL will throw a syntax error of the form "avg function used with no grouping column". This has to be a nested query.

Code: Select all

select sal from employee where sal > (select avg(sal) from employee)

While grimm336 tries to remember, use the Administrator to check whether the indexes are intact. Execute the following commands.

Code: Select all

LIST.INDEX DS_JOBS ALL
LIST.INDEX DS_JOBOBJECTS ALL
In particular note the setting of the "Build Reqd" column.

Does the db2nodes configuration file have the same number (and names) of nodes as does the parallel execution configuration file? Are you working in a DPF environment?

Where you have " X " do you need to convert to a single space (use Trim() function) or only to remove the X (use Convert() function)?

Probably a bug (if what you say is true and reproducible), and definitely 7.5x2 (because it's actually running). Contact your official support provider or search Fix Central to see whether there's a patch for this.

Not really. But a Link Collector stage will perform the function that a Funnel stage performs in parallel jobs.
