Data movement options
There are various data movement options available in DB2® for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
This topic provides an overview of the data movement tools, utilities,
stored procedures, and commands available to you.
Ingest utility
The ingest utility (sometimes referred to as continuous
data ingest, or CDI) is a high-speed client-side DB2 utility that streams data from files and
pipes into DB2 target
tables. Because the ingest utility can move large amounts of real-time
data without locking the target table, you do not need to choose between
the data currency and availability.
