How do you kick off a DB2 Script in AIX ?

[pulsar]

I'm new to using DB2 from AIX, and need to run a series of EXPORT commands of the form EXPORT TO /dir/file1.txt OF DEL MESSAGES /dir/file1.msg SELECT * FROM <TABLE> WHERE <CLAUSE>

I would like to be able to create a single script that houses all the EXPORT commands and then invoke DB2 from the command line to run these one after then other.

Can anyone help me with how this is done ?

Thanks,

Prem Isaac

CONNECT TO <dbname>user <userid> using <'password'>;
EXPORT TO /dir/file1.txt OF DEL MESSAGES /dir/file1.msg SELECT * FROM <TABLE> WHERE <CLAUSE>;
<next export command>
..

.
commit;
CONNECT RESET;

Hi,

or use a shell script:

db2 connect to mydb
for var_mytable in "table1 table2 table3"
do
  db2 "export to ${var_mytable}.txt of del  select * from myschema.${var_mytable} ..."
done
db2 connect reset
