DB2 v9.1 z/OS Table Partitioning problem

Asked by TomasHelgi in DB2 Database, MainFrame Operating Systems

Hi!

I have a problem that I can't seem to find any answer to through "google-ing".
I have a table with a timestamp column as primary key.
Now what I want to do is create a table-partitioned table which is partitioned by that particular column
where I have in each partition 2 months of data.
Example the part 1 would have partition ending at the timestamp '30.09.2009 23:59:59 999999'.
In the DDL of the table it complains about the conversion or illegal keyword TIMESTAMP
in the part where I partition the table
...
PARTITION BY (PK_TIMESTAMP ASC)
(PART 1 VALUES(TIMESTAMP( '30.09.2009','23:59:59 999999')),
PART 2 VALUES(TIMESTAMP( '30.11.2009','23:59:59 999999')))
...

How can I partition on a particular timestamp ? The problem is the 999999 part. I have data which has for example the timestamp 30.09.2009 23:59:59.410023
and if I only have the part1 on timestamp( '30.09.2009','23:59:59') then the partitioning timestamp will be '30.09.2009','23:59:59.000000' which leads to that
the record falls into Part 2. :(
Please help.

Regards,
Tomas Helgi
