LOAD
Very High Speed, low level data loader
separate LOAD, BUILD, DELETE phases
Uses utility heap (UTIL_HEAP_SZ)
Does NOT use bufferpool and does NOT activate triggers
Constraints enforced as separate step, may define
EXCEPTION tables
online LOAD supported

LOAD FROM employee.ixf OF IXF

REPLACE INTO employee_copy
SET INTEGRITY FOR employee_copy
ALL IMMEDIATE UNCHECKED
