Create Unload Directory
You should create a directory to hold scripts and data from the unloaded database.
Note: This directory requires a large amount of disk space. As an estimate, the unloaded data is about the same size as the Ingres database; however, compressed data can expand to take up much more space than the Ingres database.
To create a directory, issue the following commands for each database:
UNIX:
mkdir /someplace/dbname
chmod 777 /
someplace/
dbname 
Windows:
mkdir
d:\
someplace\
dbname
