Data can also be loaded to a row-partitioned table using the parallel loading facility. For details about the parallel loading facility, see 6.1.6 Loading data into a row-partitioned table (using the parallel loading facility). If you cannot achieve the desired results using the parallel loading facility, load data using divided-input data files, as described in this subsection.
When you load data into a row-partitioned table, you can reduce the time required for data loading and the length of time the table is in the exclusive mode by dividing the input data files by storage RDAREAs and executing parallel data loading. By specifying the src_work statement in the control information file and then executing the database load utility (pdload), you can create an input data file for each RDAREA from user-created input data files. The obtained input data files can be used to execute data loading for the individual RDAREAs. A file created by the database load utility (pdload) is called a divided-input data file. For details about the options and control statements used to create the divided-input data files, see the manual HiRDB Version 9 Command Reference.
