Utilities

You cannot use the -f option unless it was used when the schema file was
exported with the dbexport program. If you use -f, you typically use the
same command filename that you specified in the dbexport command. If you
specify only a filename, dbimport looks for the file in the .exp subdirectory
of either your current directory or the directory you specify with the -i
option.

If you are importing from tape, you must use the same block size and tape
size that you used to export the database.

The following command imports the stores5 database from a tape with a
block size of 16 KB and a capacity of 24,000 KB. The schema file is read from
/tmp/stores5.imp

. The -c option directs dbimport to continue unless a fatal

error is detected.

dbimport -c

-t /dev/rmt0 -b 16 -s 24000 -f /tmp/stores5.imp stores5

The following command imports the stores5 database from the stores5.exp
directory under the /usr/informix/port directory. The schema file is
assumed to be /usr/informix/port/stores5.exp/stores5.sql.

dbimport -c -i /usr/informix/port stores5
