Table reorganization involves saving table data into a file and then storing the data from the file back into the table. The process for storing data from a file back into a table is called reloading a table.

You can reload a table in units of tables or RDAREAs (applicable to row-partitioned tables).

Figure 8-8 shows an overview of reloading a table.

• Unload data file
  The unload data file is used to save table data.
  
• Control information file
  The control statement file contains pdrorg's control statements.
  The control statements are used to specify an unload data file, index information, and LOB column information.
  

For details about how to migrate data into another table, see Section 8.1.3 Unloading a table.

For details about how to modify table partitioning conditions, see Section 8.1.3 Unloading a table.

As with table reorganization, you can reload to a LOB column structure base table and LOB columns at the same time or separately.

For details about how to reload with the synchronization point specification, see Section 8.1.2 Reorganizing a table.
