To load data from a dbdump-formatted flat file into a Lawson database file
At a command prompt, type:
dbload [-anrf] dataarea|dataID filename [flatfilename]
where the following program options apply.
| Program Option | Description |
|---|---|
-a |
Overwrite all duplicate records and replace existing database records with duplicate records in the flat file. If the flat file has multiple occurrences of a record, the last occurrence is stored in the database. |
-n |
Do not overwrite duplicate records. It does not replace existing database records with duplicate records from the flat file and ignores duplicate records in the flat file. |
-r |
Report on duplicate records that print duplicate records between the flat file and the database. It does not replace the existing database records. |
-f |
Do not check for existing records. This option is required for SQL databases. It writes whatever records exist in the flat file, completely overwriting the records in the database. |
