SQL Query on Hash File

Another one of my dumb questions. :)

Can we run SQL type queries on normal DataStage hash file ?

Since I have very large hash files and opening them through Data Stage designer often freezes my client which results in locked jobs.

So presently I have to do all this through ETL jobs to filter out the records that I want since another limitation of the designer is that it only allows for one find condition.

Basically, the answer is "yes". Access the hash file using a Universe stage and you'll be able to do SQL against it.
