Hi Stojan,

Do you remember when you ran your tests ? Was it in early 2013 ? I remember filing a similar issue with a query on cdb_segments for calculating space usage in a cdb. We are probably referring to the same cloud control issue here.

But that issue has been fixed with the mid-2013 release of the DB plug-in. I cannot remember the plug-in version of the top of my head though.

Thanks
Deba
