The other thing to remember,that for n partitions of a frag'd table you want n frags of the index. There is/was a bug in 7.xx where PDQ would assign n processes to go through the table and if the number of frags in the index was < n, then all hell broke loose. [N is the number of VCPUs you allocated. or the number of frags. Whatever is smaller.] -Mikey
