Re: dbexport too slow. Any other ideas?

Greg, I would recommend using PATROL from bmc software. There are a lot of utilities but I have found this to be most user friendly and easy to use ones : You could use PATROL DB BASIS utilities and it solved most of the problems without going into dbaccess or touching the sysmaster tables yourself. Some of the utilities that are very helpful are iload, iunload, ischema and ispace. Some of the features of iunload are multiple unloading at one time and online compression. Similarly iload will load multiple tables, multiple threads per table, and online uncompression. ischema : will generate all the indexes, views, referential constraints etc for the entire database or for a particular table. ispace : will give you the dbspace, allocated space, used space etc,etc for the entire database, or particular chunk or etc.... I am sure that this is a tool that will help everybody. You can check the entire details at http://www.bmc.com/products/pat/dm/zutds.html or can get the free copy (evaluatin copy) from http://www.bmc.com Thanks, Sunil Thakkar.

Date: Tue, 05 May 1998 10:38:49 -0700 Reply-To: GREG_MAY@Non-HP-Roseville-om1.om.hp.com dbexport exports a complete database. But, its way too slow. Is there a way to export and load a database faster. g. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
