Re: ART - Q on MY??port tools

In Response To: RE: ART - Q on MY??port tools (Tim Ertl)

Oh, yes, iploader is MUCH faster than sqlreload (or sqlunload for that
matter) even in Deluxe Mode. Getting myexport to use myonpload (and so
ipload) rather than sqlunload/sqlreload should as as simple as adding -D,
-C, or -S to myexport and -H D or -H E to myimport. That's why I was
confused, I though you were saying that using the iploader yourself was MUCH
faster than using myimport with the -HD or -HE option. Now I have to start
running a whole new set of tests to make sure this is working - thanks
(seriously - I thought this worked). I may also recode an option to use the
new onpladm utility instead of myonpload.
