Examples of loading and unloading jobs using the ipload utility
This section shows how the components of the fit together. The section includes a step-by-step tutorial with two examples (for a load and an unload job) that use the ipload graphical user interface (GUI).
The illustrations in the first example use a database with only one table. The table contains three columns. The data to be loaded into the database is in a file that has only four records. In a real production environment, you would probably use the INSERT statement, the dbimport utility, or the LOAD statement for such a simple operation. However, by using a simple example, the illustrations can show what happens at each step.
The onpladm command-line interface is equivalent to the ipload utility.
