Exporting Data - IBM Data Studio DB2

Question

I am trying to export a large query from a DB2 database to a text file on my desktop using IBM Data Studio and I can't seem to get anything to work. When I run the query and right click on the results tab->Export->All Results it only gives me the first 500 records. This table is going to be in the range of 15 MM records so I can't just change the display settings to allow it to display that many records. I cannot use the unload utility because it won't let me save the file to my desktop. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Probably, the limit in the SQL Results is activated.

You should click in the upper left triangle in the "SQL results" view, then "Preferences...".

However, this is not a good way to export data, because you should fetch them into Data Studio and then export them via the GUI. It is better to use the "export" command.

Answer 2

IN the IBM Data Studio:

right click the table/view and ---->Data-----> Extract and Browse destination to drop the file.
