AMP Worker Task Resource Limits & Increased Load Limits for MLOADX - comment by carrie

Hi Dave,
 
It depends (sorry).
 
With MLOADX, whether freespace percent will be honored depends on the operations being utilized within the utility. 
 
if you are doing updates to existing rows in the table, or if you are inserting into a  standard non-partitioned table where the inserts will be spread around what is already there, then free space percent will not be honored. 
 
However, if you use MLOADX to load into a table where the new rows will be appended to the end (adding an entirely new date partition, or loading a NoPI or columnar table for example) then free space percent will be honored.  
 
Different operations within MLOADX behave differently.  Some operations will use FSP, others will not.
 
Good question.
 
Thanks, -Carrie
