Re: Script to see who's (session) using temp space

In Response To: Re: Script to see who's (session) using temp space (Keith Simmons)

Keith.... we can try a workaround.... Not sure if 9.40 will accept this
syntax. and I apologize for this strange SQL, but I'd need CHARINDEX() to
make it simpler, but 9.40 doesn't have it....

Can you try replacing the line:

sysscblst.sid = po_sid AND

with this:

sysscblst.sid || '' = SUBSTR(po_name, 1, (SELECT

CASE

WHEN po_name[2] = '_' THEN 1

WHEN po_name[3] = '_' THEN 2

WHEN po_name[4] = '_' THEN 3

WHEN po_name[5] = '_' THEN 4

WHEN po_name[6] = '_' THEN 5

WHEN po_name[7] = '_' THEN 6

WHEN po_name[8] = '_' THEN 6

WHEN po_name[9] = '_' THEN 8

WHEN po_name[10] = '_' THEN 9

ELSE

-1
END
FROM systables WHERE tabid = 1)) AND

The pool I'm looking for has "SID_SORT_*" where SID is the session ID i was
getting from the po_sid column.
So I'm trying to cut the string before the first "_". Without CHARINDEX or
a custome equivalent this is the best I can think of...
If you can give it a try.... I hope I don't have any syntax error, but with
the above idea you should be able to workaround it.

The empty sctring concatenation is just to make sure I compare string to
string.... otherwise the engine could try to convert theresult of the
SUBSTR to an INTEGER and that could fail for many of the pool names.

To be sure it works (not giving syntax error is not enough, please make
sure you run a query that needs to create a temporary sort structure and
make sure the query is still displaying the results on dbaccess while you
run the changed script.

To be sure, an "oncheclk -pe" should show up "SORTTEMP" in the temporary
dbspaces.

Good luck. If it works I can make the script adjust itself to older
versions.... and I'll publish an update.

Regards.
