Hi,
Why is it that this command doesn't work in DB2.
I have to create a view in which one of the columns has to be
null(Don't ask me why that should always be null, because the view in
Oracle and DB2 should have same columns and Oracle view has col as
null)
So i try ...
Create view......null as col.......
It fails in DB2, but works in Oracle.
Please tell what should be done to set the field as null.
Thanks a lot

Try something along the lines of:
CAST(NULL as CHAR)
CAST(NULL AS DATE)
CAST(NULL as INTEGER)

CAST the NULL. Or, being it has to match Oracle, and Oracle uses a
zero-length string for NULL, just use ''.

What's the type of such a NULL in Oracle?
If I do:
CREATE TABLE T(c1) AS (SELECT NULL FROM DUAL)
What is c1?
Cheers

Hi,
It seems we cannot create a table in Oracle with null as a column but
only a view or a simple select statement like
select null as xyz from dual;
It gives the error saying zero length columns are not allowed.

Seems like they default to a CHAR(0)....
Anyway, to make a long story short DB2's unwillingness to type NULL more
aggressively is rooted in the strong typing.
NULls are allowed for:
1. Input to CAST (obviously)
2. Input to stored procs (because there is no overloading by type)
3. Right hand side of SET clause (since the column/variable type is known)
4. INSERT VALUES clause (again casting to the column)
Cheers

On a warehouse app, our Java clients constantly load/insert rows
into the db. I would like to throttle these inserts (1.5 million rows per
hr) from the Java app, based on current 'busy state' of the server.
It would be nice if I can get the server CPU utilization (and other key
factors) from db2 via jdbc. However, it needs to be low cost, since it
would likely run every x seconds.
System: db2 v 9.1 64bit on Centos 4.3 64 bit.
Thank...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
