fastload Command--Load Binary Files into Database
The fastload command loads binary format files into the database.
Note: Before using this command, make sure you understand the fastload operation and have satisfied the requirements for running it. For more information, see the Database Administrator Guide.
The fastload command has the following format:
fastload dbname [+w|-w] -file=filename -table=tablename
dbname
Identifies the name of the database into which the file is to be loaded.
+w | -w
Waits (+w) or does not wait (-w) for the database to be free (not in use). The default is -w. If you specify -w or do not specify this flag, then fastload aborts immediately if the database is not free. If you specify +w, fastload waits for anyone with an exclusive connection to disconnect, and then proceeds.
file=filename
Identifies the file name to be loaded. If the file is not in the current directory, specify the full path name of the file.
-table=tablename
Identifies the table into which the file is to be loaded.
