ONPLOAD QUESTION

Hi, For a data warehousing project we are loading data from mainframe to Informix 9.x database. The entire ETL tool is custom written in Perl and ESQL-C. The data comes from the mainframe as an ASCII fixed length file which is then loaded onto the informix database using dbload. The Perl script creates the appropriate dbload command file and calls dbload to load the data to an *unlogged* database. We are contemplating moving to onpload (high performance loader). From the manuals it looks like that onpload has a setup process which is GUI driven. From iiug.org I downloaded a script which can create the onpload database bypassing the GUI process. However its readme.txt file >Installing and Using >-------------------- >1. You should be logged in as "Informix" >2. dbaccess onpload master.sql >3. database that you want to load to must have logging >4. run the "gop" shell script to use the interface Point no 3 says that the target database where the data is to be loaded must be logged. This conflicts with our objective of keeping the database unlogged. Does that mean, we can not use high performance loader unless we change the database to a logged one. TIA. Ravi.
