Hi Lars,
thank you for this information!
So only querying the contents works fine, because the processing is splited into independet tasks running on each partition and only these sub results are factored together. So the 2 billion limit is not reached in this cases. (E.g. select count(*) works fine.)
But trying to process all rows together in one statement will hit the 2 billion limit. This will also happen if I try to update all rows within one statement?!
And yes, this was only a test case to populate the table with data. On the other hand side it is useful to know such restrictions to avoid real life issues. :-)
regards
Andreas
