Data Conversion Error while loading DB2 table.

Hi,

We were in need of altering a DB2 table in which one of the column
has been changed from VARCHAR(256) to INTEGER. I have extracted the
table data into a tape before alters. After the alters was done, I am
reloading the data back into the table using IBM load utility. I
changed the load card from VARCHAR to INTEGER and loaded the table.
After loading, I could find that the data was not correct in the
table. The tape has a value of 3888537 where as the table has a value
of 521208. When I try INTEGER EXTERNAL in the load card, all rows were
getting discarded. Does any one have a solution for this?.

I am using DB2 version 6.1.

Thanks,
Balaji.

The few times in the past that I've loaded unbound data, I've tended to cheat and use temp tables (not really unbound) or use code for small datasets.

A consulting review prior to my involvement stressed the wasted space and database speed as the major impetus for normalization. Although the db actually works fairly...

I have some historic data that I want to analyze. To do this I set up postgres on a spare box I picked up for cheap, which just lucked into having tons of RAM (1.5G). I set up postgres to use 10000 buffers, and recompiled the kernel to allow 2Gb data size limit per process. Since this is historical data, I'm actually merging a couple of dumps that span the time range. I've dealt with eliminating any conflicting data (ie, clashing...
