PROUTIL BULKLOAD Qualifier

Loads data files into a database.

NOTE: The bulk loader works only with Progress databases. Some non-Progress databases offer a similar bulk-loading tool. If such a tool is not available, use the standard load option in the Progress Data Administration tool or Data Dictionary.

proutil db-name [ -yy n ] -C BULKLOAD fd-file [ -Bn ]

db-name

Specifies the database you are using.

-yy n

Century Year Offsett startup parameter; n specifies a four-digit year (1900, for example) that determines the start of a 100-year period in which any two-digit DATE value is defined. The default is 1950, but the -yy n value must match the -yy n value used when the data was dumped.

fd-file

Identifies the bulk loader description file you are using.

-Bn

Blocks in DataBase Buffers startup parameter; n specifies the number of blocks.

NOTE

You must create the bulk loader description file and load the data definitions (.df) files for the database before you can run the Bulk Loader utility. See "Dumping and Loading," for information about creating the bulk loader description file and loading data definitions files.
