New to the forum and DB2 first and foremost.
I'm looking for some advice on how to streamline CSV imports into a DB2 10 DB. We have buckets of data coming to us in the form of CSV or XLS and we convert them, strip out the formatting and import them into DB2. The problem is we have a couple people doing this and the fields in the CSV file need to be formatted just right for it to work. We've had issues where the file will corrupt the table and we need to restore.
We also have run into an issue where the import that was done needs to be additive instead of a replacement of data and the person forgot to uncheck the replace data icon.
I'm far from an expert with DB2 but is there a common practice for dealing with data the way we're receiving it and process it into our DB?
Thanks in advance.
