Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> SQL*Loader and mainframe data
I need to get mainframe data from both DB2 and VSAM to populate an
Oracle database on AIX. Since there are over 200 tables,I was planning
on using SQL*Loader by running the creates on DB2, generating the
SQL*Loader control files using the DB2 unload utility, and downloading
these files along with the data which will be formatted in table format
by COBOL programs. Of course I found that after FTPing the data, the
binary record lengths for the varchars had been rendered unusable. Does
anyone have any experience with something like this? Is there an easier
way? Should I forget SQL*Loader and deal with each table in JAVA and
PL/SQL?
TIA
