Creating a Bulk Loader Description File
You use the bulk loader description file with the Bulk Loader utility to load data files into a Progress database more quickly than you can using the Data Dictionary Load utility.
You must create a bulk loader description file before you can run the Bulk Loader utility. For more information about bulk loader description files, see the chapter on dumping and loading in the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference.
NOTE: You cannot use the Bulk Loader utility for non-Progress databases.Follow these steps to create a bulk loader description file:
- Choose Admin
Create Bulk Loader Description File. Progress alphabetically lists all the tables defined for your database.
- Select the tables for which you want to create bulk loader description files and press GO. Progress prompts you for the bulk load filename.
- Specify a bulk load filename. The default filename is table-name
.fd
.- Specify the code page.
- Choose OK. After dumping the table contents to the specified file, Progress displays a status message and prompts you to continue.
