Is there data loss/conversion issues when using Db2 move command.
Hello mates,
We have already an implemented DB2 instance with the following specs: - Database territory: el_GR (AIX) - Database code set: UTF-8 - Database codepage: 1208
Our goal is to migrate data to a destination Db2 instance with the following specs: - Database territory: EL_GR (AIX) - Database code set: UTF-8 - Database codepage: 1208
We would like to know whether data loss or any conversion issue might arise (from el_GR to EL_GR)?
Thanks in advance for your time.
I would not expect so - EL_GR is UTF-8 which should encompass all of el_GR. But that is probably best asked of AIX (tag the question for AIX). On the database side of things you are not making any changes - so from Db2's perspective it should all be the same.
(The only time the OS locale should come into play is if you are using, say, the CLP or other clients locally; remote clients should not be affected by this at all.)
HTH.
