I’m currently writing a script that exports data from a list of tables and then imports this data in to an identical copy of the original database, everything seems to work expect one issue:

I cant seem to export tables that have a column containing ST_GEOMETRY data. (The data type of the column is ST_GEOMETRY).

This is a big ask but does anyone know how I can get around this issue?

here is the command I call:

db2 export to table_name.del of del "select * from table_name"

the error I get is:

SQL3529N  The "EXPORT" operation encountered the unsupported data type 
"DB2GSE.ST_GEOMETRY" in column "7".

thanks

    From what I can tell you can’t export spatial data with the “regular” db2 export command.

    See the topic Exporting Spatial Data at the DB2 information centre. You’ll probably also need to read up on Importing Spatial Data.

    It looks like you can do it either using DB2 Control Center or the “db2se export_shape” and “db2se import_shape” commands (see here).

    Good luck.
