To use the bulk-load facility, specify BULKLOAD=YES. The bulk-loadfacility uses the Aster nCluster loader client application to move data from the client tothe Aster nCluster database. See “BULKUNLOAD= Data Set Option” on page 291.Here are the Aster nCluster bulk-load data set options. For detailed informationabout these options, see Chapter 11, “Data Set Options for Relational Databases,” onpage 203.3 BL_DATAFILE=3 BL_DBNAME=3 BL_DELETE_DATAFILE=3 BL_DELIMITER=3 BL_HOST=3 BL_OPTIONS=3 BL_PATH=3 BULKLOAD=ExamplesThis example shows how you can use a SAS data set, SASFLT.FLT98, to create andload a large Aster nCluster table, FLIGHTS98.LIBNAME sasflt ’SAS-data-library’;LIBNAME net_air ASTER user=louis pwd=fromageserver=air2 database=flights dimension=yes;PROC sql;create table net_air.flights98(bulkload=YES bl_host=’queen’ bl_path=’/home/ncluster_loader/’bl_dbname=’beehive’)as select * from sasflt.flt98;quit;You can use BL_OPTIONS= to pass specific Aster nCluster options to thebulk-loading process.You can create the same table using a DATA step.data net_air.flights98(bulkload=YES bl_host=’queen’ bl_path=’/home/ncluster_loader/’bl_dbname=’beehive’);
