It is 'Drop Storage'.
You can check it with the following query. Run this before and after the job execution.

Code: Select all

select substr(segment_name,1,20) segment, bytes / 1024 "Size [KB]" from user_segments
where segment_name in ('<table_name>');

Why it doesn't work? Are you getting any error or it doesnt give the expected value? Explain how are you passing the value.
You can use the ReturnValue of the ExecuteCommand Acitivity to pass the value of the output. And you can manipulate the same in the Job.

This is the reason why the Hash partition is preferred over Auto. If one stream is already partition in previous stages, it may be maintained as Same and the other might be Hash partitioned. Sort might be inserted, but it again doesnt help you much, if the partition are different.

Either include another stage after the target stage, or make use of Afterjob Subroutine with the command line options for the database.
But you can mention the edition of the Datastage, to get more appropriate answers.

Hi Welcome aboard!!! :D
You can simply use sort stage and sort based on Proposal_id and include a column to detect the change in Key column option to have the serial number to be generated. Optionally you can use transformer to detect the change in previous row to the current row.
