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.

• Load data into a table using SQL
  A simple method of loading data into a table is to use an SQL application and the SQL INSERT operation.
• Manipulate data in tables and files using the iSeries query management function
  The i5/OS™ licensed program provides a DB2 Universal Database™ for iSeries query management function that allows you to manipulate data in tables and files. A query is created using an SQL query statement.
• Enter data, update tables, and make inquiries using data file utility
  The data file utility (DFU), which is part of the iSeries Applications Development Tools package available from IBM^®, is a program builder that helps you create programs to enter data, update tables, and make inquiries.
