Import DEL File in DB2: Step-by-Step Guide
To import a DEL file using db2, you can follow these steps:
- Create a table in the DB2 database to store data imported from a DEL file. You can use SQL similar to the following to create the table:
CREATE TABLE my_table (
column1 INT,
column2 VARCHAR(50),
column3 DATE
);
- Edit the DEL file to ensure that the data in the file matches the table structure and that the fields in each row are separated by commas or other delimiters.
- Connect to the database using tools such as the db2 command line or db2 Control Center.
- Use the LOAD command to import data from a DEL file into the created table. You can use a command similar to the following:
LOAD FROM your_del_file.del OF DEL INSERT INTO my_table
The path and filename for the DEL file is your_del_file.del, and the table name where the data will be imported is my_table.
- Please wait for the data import to complete, then verify if the data has been successfully imported into the table.
By following the steps above, you can successfully import data from a DEL file into a table in the database using db2.
