If you want the previous row to be available then you must set transaction size and array size to 1.

There is nothing out of the box. It could be done easily with a job sequence scheduled using the Information Server scheduling service. In this case there would be no entry in crontab.

If your client is operating in that language you can use the character directly (if your client NLS map in DataStage is correct). Otherwise use the UniChar() function for the Unicode code point of the character.

You'll certainly see a marked improvement in the startup time of jobs. The total execution time of jobs is subject to far too many variables to make any deliberative statements about the effect on performance of any single measure. It's a definite maybe. You can state with confidence that fewer file...

Some special hashed files (for example system tables like UV_SCHEMA) have a read-only bit set in their file header. You will never be permitted to clear these, or even to edit them inappropriately (via DML), because doing so would break the engine. Which hashed file did you try to clear, and what ar...

You could start by explaining what "not working" means in this case and any error messages that are getting. You might also advise whether you're using a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system because that, too, will make a difference.
