Example of HASH with DB2 Multisystem

Use the HASH function to determine what the partitions should be if the partitioning key is composed of EMPNO and LASTNAME.

The query returns the partition number for every row in EMPLOYEE.

SQL statement:

SELECT HASH(EMPNO, LASTNAME)
   FROM CORPDATA.EMPLOYEE

OPNQRYF command:

OPNQRYF FILE((CORPDATA/EMPLOYEE))
        FORMAT(FNAME)
        MAPFLD((HASH '%HASH(1/EMPNO, 1/LASTNAME)'))
