Ive just built a dividing wall in my workshop underneath a mezz floor. Can I just tie it in with metal brackets to the mezz floor or do I need some kind of piers?

Thanks for your help

The mezz floor? Or the floor the wall is sat on? It seemed a bit wobbly when I was putting the top couple of courses in. The wall is about 2.1m high, 100mm wide blocks.
 
The floor above braces the wall. Either by loading or with some brackets to secure it

Thanks Woody. I think i'll add 2 brackets to each of the longer walls and 1 brackets to the small two block wide wall. The mezz floor rsj's do rest on top of the wall with a block paving brick used as a type of pad stone. Eventually i'll have partitions coming off each side of this wall which will support it some more.
