This was pointed out to me :)

I know its redundant, it's just habit. A bad one though, I guess..

For the error, you need to use  >=90 , not =>90

Also, why are you making the select harder than it needs to be?

select volume_name,pct_reclaim from volumes where
stgpool_name='UKS_NORM_PRIM' and pct_reclaim>=90

Hallo,

I have noticed the actual select statement is incorrect....

The one that crashes the server;

select "volume_name,pct_reclaim from ( select * from volumes where
stgpool_name='UKS_NORM_PRIM') where pct_reclaim=>90"

should read

select "volume_name,pct_reclaim from volumes where volume_name in
(select volume_name from volumes where stgpool_name='UKS_NORM_PRIM') and
pct_reclaim=>90"



..I havent tried that command yet , but I still would not expect a
syntax error to kill  the server process.

It has been confirmed that the select statement that is in error also
crashes windows 5.2.2.3 TSM servers.

Matt.

We use the following select with no problems.
AIX 5.1
TSM 5.2.2.4
select volume_name,stgpool_name,pct_reclaim,est_capacity_mb from volumes
where pct_reclaim >= 50 order by stgpool_name

Hallo *SM'ers

AIX 5.2.0.0
TSM server 5.2.2.3

I have discovered a select command that will crash our server instantly
every time..

Could anyone confirm they get the same behaviour, or that it's just a
quirk of our site.

I originally tried this;

>select volume_name,pct_reclaim from (select * from volumes where
stgpool_name='UKS_NORM_PRIM') where pct_reclaim=>90

But TSM complains about the first '(' being an invalid token... It
shouldn't be.

So, after confirming and doing succesfull sub-selects in other select
commands, I thought it may have something to do with the '>' being the
redirect symbol.  So I wrapped part of the command in double-quotes

When I try this command;

>select "volume_name,pct_reclaim from ( select * from volumes where
stgpool_name='UKS_NORM_PRIM') where pct_reclaim=>90"

The server instantly falls over.....

Can anyone else repeat this? I have tried a couple of very simple select
commands with double quotes around them (none using '>'  as yet) and
only the above select command has made the TSM server fall over so far..
but my testing is far from comprehensive as yet.

Have Fun!

Thanks,


Matt.
