Load data into tables in a distributed relational database

Applications in the distributed relational database environment operate on data stored in tables. In general, applications are used to query a table for information, to insert, update, or delete rows of a table or tables, or to create a new table. Other situations occur where data on one server must be moved to another server.

• Load new data into the tables of a distributed relational database
  You load data into a table by entering each data item into the table. On the iSeries™ server, you can use SQL, the DB2 Universal Database™ for iSeries™ Query Management function, or the data file utility portion of iSeries™ Application Development Tools to create applications that insert data into a table.
• Move data from one iSeries server to another
  A number of situations occur in enterprise operations that might require moving data from one iSeries™ server to another.
• Move a database to an iSeries server from a non-iSeries server
  You might need to move a file from another IBM^® server to an iSeries™ server or from a non-IBM server to the iSeries™ server. This topic collection lists alternatives for moving data to an iSeries™ server from a non-iSeries™ server. However, you must refer to manuals supplied with the other server or identified for the application for specific instructions on its use.
