Overview
DB2 High Performance Unload for Multiplatforms is a tool for unloading, extracting, and repartitioning data in databases.
DB2 High Performance Unload (DB2 HPU) helps the DBA to work with very large quantities of data with less effort and with faster results. Organizations value DB2 HPU for its ability to:
- Execute concurrently with production applications -- maintaining system availability, but minimizing duration of impact to production performance
- Reduce the risk of impacting online production by fitting more work (e.g. unloads, backups, migrations, re-partitioning) into tight or shrinking batch windows
- Recover from single table failures or accidental table drops by extracting a single table from a backup for restoration
- Deliver the value of new hardware and software investments faster by speeding database migrations
- Eliminate the need for intermediate storage for database migrations with DB2 High Performance Unload 4.1
- Unload from DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows databases
