Relationship to Other Loading Tools
DataLoader/MP is designed to complement other tools that load and maintain NonStop
SQL/MP databases. For example, the NonStop SQL/MP LOAD utility is not, in itself,
parallel, but can be used in conjunction with DataLoader/MP to provide a parallel load
solution.
The SQLCI LOAD and APPEND commands require input in a specific format. You can
use DataLoader/MP to edit and construct input for the LOAD and APPEND utilities.
DataBuild, a third-party product, and DataLoader/MP provide similar functionality.
However, DataLoader/MP provides a different, expanded set of capabilities than
DataBuild. COBOL-oriented shops might continue to use DataBuild, which is written in
COBOL, while C-oriented shops might use DataLoader/MP, written in C.
