Best way to transfert high volume data between AS400/DB2 to Unix-Sybase


Hi,

what would be the best way to transfert high volume data (100 tables,
500Meg each) between DB2/AS400 to Sybase?

Thanks Etienne.

do a del-ascii export from db2 side
do a bcp import on sybase side

you will have to manually or through scripts, process the data for
things like timestamps, "-" instead of "NULL".

Thank dotyet,

Do you know what kind of other exceptions I would need to check in the
data?

Does most of the datatype are compatible between db2 and sybase? Per
exemple, can varchar in db2 be higher than 255 characters? I know that
in sybase a varchar is limited to 255 chars.

Thanks,
Etienne
