Copying data between databases

Chuck

I want to replicate 5 tables from a production OLTP database to an OLAP
database several times a day. What's the best way to do this?
export/import? db2move? Two of tables will contain at most 30k rows and no
LOBS. The others < 10 rows.

Does db2 have something like Oracle's database links where I could just
trucate the table and do an insert over a link?

Do they work on a database that is not federated?
