Issuing shapefile commandsIssuing db2se commands

Issue Spatial Analytics shapefiledb2se commands from an operating system prompt.

  • To display the syntax of a particular command, enter db2se followed by the command name. Parameters shown enclosed in brackets are optional; the other parameters are required.
  • Values that you enter are not case-sensitive unless they are enclosed in double quotation marks. For example, to specify the lowercase table name myTable, type "mytable".
  • To prevent the system prompt (shell) from parsing the quotation marks, you might have to escape them. For example, to specify the lowercase table name myTable, you might need to type \"myTable\".
  • If a case-sensitive value is qualified by another case-sensitive value, delimit the two values individually. For example, type "mySchema"."myTable".
  • Enclose strings in double quotation marks. For example, type "select * from table1".
Important: Do not include the entire list of parameter names and values in double quotation marks.
