High-Performance Loader

The High-Performance Loader (HPL) lets you efficiently load and unload large quantities of data to or from an Informix database. Use the HPL to exchange data with tapes, data files, and programs and to convert data from these sources into a format compatible with an Informix database. The HPL also lets you manipulate and filter the data as you perform load and unload operations.

Use the ipload graphical user interface (GUI) to load and unload data, create, modify, and delete HPL objects on UNIX.

Use the onpladm utility to perform the same tasks from the command line on either UNIX or Windows platforms. The ipload and onpladm utilities are included with the database server.

For information on how to use the HPL, including tutorial examples, see the IBM Informix High-Performance Loader User's Guide. For information on other migration utilities, such as dbexport and dbload, see the IBM Informix Migration Guide.
