Input File Location Options
You can cancel dbimport at any time by pressing the Interrupt key. The
dbimport program asks for confirmation before terminating.
Input File Location Options
If you do not specify an input file location, dbimport looks for the directory
database.exp under the current directory.
If you use the -i option, dbimport looks for the directory under the current
directory unless a complete pathname is provided. You can give the database
a new name if you use the -i option.
-b blocksize specifies in kilobytes the block size of the tape device.
-f pathname specifies the pathname on disk where dbimport will find the
schema file to use as input to create the database (data files are
read from tape).
-i directory names the directory on disk where dbimport will find the
input data files and schema files.
-s tapesize specifies in kilobytes the amount of data that can be stored on
the tape.
-t device names the pathname of the tape device where the tape
containing the input files is mounted.
