SQLLOAD

SQLLOAD lets you load SQL databases. The syntax for SQLLOAD (for UNIX and Windows) is:

Syntax

sqlload -u username -a password -t table-name[,table-name ...] database-url [-b bad-row-filename] [-C charset] [-e max-errors] [-F { comma | quote }] [-f command-filename] [-l log-filename] [-n error-check]

username, password

User authentication.

table-name[,table-name ...]

One or more tables to load . Multiple tables can be specified, in a comma-separated list. Specify a table of % to load all tables. The -t option can be specified only if the -f option is not.

database-url

The database to which you want to connect. This has the following form:

progress:T:host-name:service-name:database-name

bad-row-filename

The file where SQLLOAD writes rows that were not loaded. The default is screen.

charset

The name of the character set of the tables to be loaded.

maxerrors

{ comma | quote }

If comma is specified, load in comma-delimited format. If quote is specified, load in quote-delimited format. The default is quote.

command-filename

The file where SQLLOAD reads commands on how and what to load. The -f option can be specified only if the -t option is not.
