Limitations

Limitations

The Data Clustering Engine’s design imposes some limits. The maximum values for some components are documented here:
Field
Description
Database file size
32 GB with the default space management granularity of 8 bytes. Raising the granularity while creating the database raises the maximum file size correspondingly. Default Large File Support extends the size to 1.3TB
Database index size
8 TB
Records / logical file
4 G (= 2
32
)
Field length
32767 bytes
Record length
64 kB - 1 (in compressed form)
Cluster number
4 G - 1 (= 232 - 1; zero is not a valid Cluster number)
Partition Data
255 bytes per component field
SDF Line Length
255 bytes

Object Names (for Sourced Data)

When sourcing data from Oracle, DB2/UDB or other ODBC compliant databases, the object names of tables, indexes and columns must conform to the conventions of the host DBMS with the following additional restrictions:
  • Only Regular Identifiers are supported
  • Regular Identifiers must not exceed 32 bytes in length
This means the table, index or column name cannot be defined as a Delimited or Quoted Identifier. A Delimited or Quoted Identifier is surrounded by double quotes and contains characters which cannot be used with Regular Identifiers. The column name: Father’s Country of Birth in SQL is structured as "Father’s Country of Birth" and is regarded as a delimited or quoted identifier due to the use of an apostrophe and spaces in the name. Other characters used with delimited or quoted identifiers include commas, slashes, dashes etc.
To overcome these limitations create a view of the table using regular identifiers, which do not exceed 32 characters, and source from this view.
