Segmentation on Column with NULL values

Hello,

I have a huge table that has a column with a high cardinality, but it also has many (1 million +) NULL values.

Does anyone know if there is a performance hit if I would segment on a column like that, i.e., where there a many NULLs? Do all of the NULLs go to one node?

Move Sequence to Different Schema

Howdy,

How can I move a sequence from one schema to another without dropping and re-creating it?
