Hi Jan,
I figured that out, it is working fine for me now. The only question I have
is, if I am doing like this-
SELECT * FROM REALTIME where dt= yesterdaydate('yyyyMMdd') LIMIT 10;
Then the above query will be evaluated as below right?
SELECT * FROM REALTIME where dt= ‘20120806’ LIMIT 10;
So that means it will look for data in the corresponding dt partition
*(20120806)
*only right as above table is partitioned on dt column ? And it will not
scan the whole table right?**
