Try it. Let us know.

My guess - and it's only that - is that all the nulls will be on one partition.

But the job may abort if an attempt is made to use a key-based partitioning algorithm on a field in which nulls occur.

Interested to see your results.

Ordinarily DBMSCODE. Check with your support provider as advised - the Sybase OC stage may be different.

You could try this trick (you may need a different string):

Code: Select all

TheValue > "~~~~~~~~~~"
The tilde character is ASCII 126.

Welcome aboard. I'm going to assume that this is not a WTX question, even though you marked the job type as TX. For starters there's no dslog command - your desires were, I suspect, driving your fingers for that one. The dsjob command can only list the log of one job. So you would need to create a s...

You did not state that earlier.

Use a range lookup.
