IPLOAD KABOUM

Hi, here is a nice bug I have discovered this afternoon : We use Online DSA 7.20.UC2 on an 3CPU HP9000 K200... TEST CASE: create table junk( field integer ) fragment by expression (mod(field,2)=0) in dbs1, (mod(field,2)=0) in dbs2; Obviously, the creation script is incomplete/stupid/insane, BUT...Online doest not refuse to create this table with such a fragmentation scheme ;-) Now, just create a file named junk.unl : 1| 2| 3| 4| et caetera... And now, create an ipload project to fill the table junk with the data from junk.unl. At least, LOAD this table (execute the load job). KA-BOUM ! online.log: ploadbe.c, line 2209, thread 64, proc id 679, Pload client premature exit, unable to cleanup. PANIC: Attempting to bring system down I didn't call Informix Tech Support, because I didn't want to be ridiculous (the fragmentation...). IMHO, ipload should complain about it and abort the job (with dbload, you have no problem, but it's sloooow).
