将大型Excel工作表加载到Informix表的最佳方法是什么？

Question

I want to insert data into an Informix table from an Excel sheet. This Excel sheet contains nearly 300000 records. What is the best way to load this data? Can I use IBM ipload software to do this work?

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with ipload , but I used LOAD/UNLOAD and UNL format because it is quite easy:

1. export Excel file to CSV text
2. convert it into UNL file readable for Informix dbaccess utility, see: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_12.1.0/com.ibm.mig.doc/ids_mig_144.htm
3. import it using dbaccess LOAD command

If you are not familiar with UNL file format then fill your table with some records and export it using UNLOAD statement.
