Welcome aboard.

The only place you'll get this is (a) from the vendor if you can convince them that supplying the same will lead to a sale, or (b) by buying some time in the Cloud.

Licensing rules stringently forbid redistribution of the software.

The other thing is that you have to pay to take the tests. So, if you're not properly prepared, you're wasting your money.

Beware that the dsjob command may take longer to execute than your job, and may therefore generate erroneous results. However, you can check for the "job controller", which is the name of the job that started this one - and is empty if this job is a singleton or at the top of a hierarchy o...

Never use reserved words as keywords such as column names.

If you're stuck with it, use double quotes around the column name. This turns it into a "quoted identifier" which means that certain checks (such as for illegal characters, reserved words, etc.) are bypassed.
