3.3 Moving data
With Data Studio, you can move your data from the database tables to the file system
(Export) and bring back the data from file system to the tables (Import or Load). Using
these features lets you transfer the data from a table in a database to another table in the
same or different database. Exporting and importing is also useful when you want to import
a large volume of data into a table that includes large objects. This section will outline how
to export data into the file system and import the data from the file system into a table.
Note:
The location of the data files that you use to export or import data should be on the
computer where your DB2 database server exists when you select the following types:
Unload -> With Export Utility
Unload -> With Optim High Performance Unload
Load -> With Import Utility
