Import overview
The import utility populates a table, typed table, or view
with data using an SQL INSERT statement. If the table or view receiving
the imported data already contains data, the input data can either
replace or be appended to the existing data.
Privileges and authorities required to use import
Privileges enable users to create or access database resources.
Authority levels provide a method of grouping privileges and higher-level
database manager maintenance and utility operations. Together, these
act to control access to the database manager and its database objects.
Importing data
The import utility inserts data from
an external file with a supported file format into a table, hierarchy,
view, or nickname.
