The -i option instructs dbload to read and ignore the specified number of new-line characters in the input file before it begins to process. This option is useful if your most recent dbload session ended prematurely. For example, if dbload ends after it inserts 240 lines of input, you can begin to load again at line 241 if you set number rows ignore to 240. It is also useful if header information in the input file precedes the data records.
