metaloadtbl - Table Meta Load

metaloadtbl [-l] productline path/filename.tbl | metadumpfilelist

metaloadtbl is a utility that reads the table text dump file and loads the table definitions into GEN. This is similar to using dbdef to maintain a table. You can also use the -l option and specify a file containing a list of table metadata dump files. If you specify a path with the table metadata dump file names in the list, the path must be relative to where you run the metaloadtbl command.

If the system code of the table does not exist, metaloadtbl creates the SYSTEM record with no SysName or Release. It then loads GEN tables according to record types indicated in the dump file.

If you are loading more than one type of metadata, you must load the types in the proper order. For information on this order, see Metadata Loading Order.

Note: If you are using an Oracle database, tweaking the Initial Number of Records (nRecsInit) and Number of Records to Increment by (nRecsInc) fields could result in performance improvements.
