Hi all,
I'm working on a data warehouse split into 16 partitions. Whenever we run a query that involves a non-indexed predicate, the CPU hits 100% (mainly system CPU when checked with iostat). Anyone else experienced similar ? Is this correct, or is it a bug / config issue ?
Example query
Select * from table_a where non_indexed_col umn = 'AA'
It's DB2V8 FP13 on Solaris, I get the same results on Solaris 8 or Solaris 10, and with ZFS or VXFS filesystems.
Sample iostat output - you can see where I submit the query it goes to 0% idle, and when I cancel the query it goes back to 90%+ free.
iostat 2
tty md0 md1 md3 md4 cpu
tin tout kps tps serv kps tps serv kps tps serv kps tps serv us sy wt id

0 40 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 4 92
(Sorry, can't work out how to format it, so the columns line up).
The CPU acts normally for tablescans without predicates, or whenever the predicate is indexable (uses about 5% per query as an estimate).
The CPU acts normally when the table queried is not partitioned.
Is the 100% CPU just because when selecting in this way from a partitioned table, and having to read every row to satisfy the predicate it's more data than the system can handle, so 100% CPU is expected ? It's causing us issues, as nothing can run at the same time as one of these queries, and we we're thinking of using ZFS file compression, which also has a CPU overhead, and that's fine for most queries, it's just these non-index matching ones that don't leave any CPU free for data decompression (can't go to V9 compression yet).
Thanks,
Ben

Hello
I have noticed some 'weird' memory usage in a vb.net windows app
The situation is as follows
I have an app (heavy on images) with 2 forms
(actually there are more forms and on starting the app I load some things into memory for global use of the app but I'll use only 2 starting forms to explain the situation)
situation 1
start app with form 1 (72mb memory usage), show form 2 and hide form 1 (89 mb memory usage

I'm exploring why one of my C# .NET apps has "high" memory usage, and

I have an app that wakes up and processes text files into a database

is a string representing a record from the file. The ArrayList is then

I am using UDB DB2v8.1(ESE) on win2000. Is there any way of
setting up UDB DB2 so that it only uses 1 CPU on a 2 CPU server.
This is because I have the license for 1 CPU processor. I donot
want to buy an additional CPU processor license.
Can somebody throw light.

My app contains utility meter usage. One of the things we have to deal with
is when a usage is clearly incorrect. Perhaps someone wrote the meter
reading down incorrectly or made a factor of 10 error when entering the

negative number.
So I'm thinking about adding functionality to search for such anomalies. For

If i installed db2v8 32bit software in redhat x86_64,then I create a 32bit instance and a database.
Whether I can migrate to db2v8 64 bit software and 64 bit instance on the same server.
Could you give me some advices? Thanks a lot.
I did some search in google,and It seems that I can only migrate from 32bit instance to 64bit instance assumed that I installed db2v8 64bit software(using db2iupdt).

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
