This section discusses moving data between different computers and importing data from non-Informix environments. Except when you use the HPL or external tables, you must unload your data to ASCII files before you move the data to another computer.
If you are moving to an Informix database server on another computer, you can use the dbimport and dbload utilities to load the data that you exported.
If you are moving data to a non-Informix application, you might need to use the UNLOAD statement because it lets you specify the delimiter that is used in the data files.
