Welcome aboard. There are actually eight choices for partitioning algorithm, and four for collecting. However, the decision is usually easier than that.

What happens if your transaction size is 1 row? In that case you won't (well, shouldn't) run into locking issues or huge rollback segments.

Probably a bug. Day 00 is invalid. Involve your support provider.

(I presume you used "%yyyy%mm%dd" as the format string. "20100100" is valid for "%dd%mm%yyyy". The year is 100.)

When the Fmt() function breaks the string, it inserts a special delimiter called a "text mark" in at each break point. This special character is available through the system variable @TM. Internally it is represented by the single byte whose decimal value is 251 (or 0xFB if you prefer).

Then, read previously, the answer is no. Each version 8.0 or later server must be on its own machine. 8.x and earlier server versions can be co-resident, but not two or more 8.x. And most PCs wouldn't have the grunt to drive more than one version 8 server anyway. Recommended minimum memory is 6GB, s...

Yes to the first, provided you have some kind of data definition.
