Viewing the violations table

The load job also creates two tables in the target database that contain information about records that passed the conversion but that the database server rejected. The tables are named tablename_vio and tablename_dia, where tablename is the name of the table being loaded.

View the violations table to browse through records that passed the filter and conversion but that the database server rejected. The High-Performance Loader (HPL) writes these records into the violations table (tablename_vio). The data in the violations table has the same format as the database table.

The HCL Informix® Guide to SQL: Syntax discusses in detail the information found in the violations table.

To view the violations table:

  1. Choose Browsers > Violations from the HPL main window.
    The Violations Table Browser window appears, as the following figure shows.
