Tips on exporting data with the UNLOAD TABLE statement

The UNLOAD TABLE statement lets you export data efficiently in text formats only. The UNLOAD TABLE statement exports one row per line, with values separated by a comma delimiter. To make reloading faster, the data is exported in order by primary key values.

Use the UNLOAD TABLE statement when you:

  • want to export entire tables in text format

  • are concerned about database performance

  • export data to a file on a client computer

To use the UNLOAD TABLE statement, you must have the appropriate privileges. For example, the SELECT ANY TABLE system privilege is usually sufficient, unless the -gl database server option is set to NONE.

For more information about who can use the UNLOAD TABLE statement, see -gl database server option.
