oops r.e. SELECT DISTINCT FROM TABLE

I still doubt, whether SELECT DISTINCT FROM TABLE will give out records without any syntax error. oops :oops: That would work better with some column specifiers, like a * or smth (and by "better", I mean, "as opposed to not at all"). Thanks. I've tweaked the original example.

more info, please Re: Removing Duplicates In Datastage Px

(edited: as per kumar_s, put the * in "select distinct" examples, below.) You said "key column", as in just one key. Cool - that makes it easier. You said when you "select distinct" you're getting all 257573 as distinct.... Hmm. Can you post that SQL query? Ok... Color ...

session timeouts, remember-me, & odd login prompt

The session timeout (e.g. for needing to log in again) seems pretty short; though I suppose is this a way of reducing load on the php server? How much would it hurt to double the timeout delay? With IE (6.0) and Firefox (1.5 & 2.0): r.e. logging in, "remember me" isn't working for me, ...

Re: Which scripting language is better to know for DS develo

Once again, I agree with Ray. I would add this... As you learn the ways of scripting, put some energy into learning how the host operating system thinks. It will help you to know about pipes, signals, memory handling, disk management, and so on. With respect to a long term DS career, learning some C...

Re: conversion of negative numbers

Please explain your logic a little more.
"when the source record value is negative, then
it represents the age > 80."

Perhaps an example would help me.
Do you mean like this?

Code: Select all

A  = B
0 = 0
1 = 1
50 = 50
79 = 79
80 = 80
81 = not possible?
-1 = 81
-19 = 99
-20 = 100
