IMPORT script on IBM DB2 Cloud using RUN SQL Interface - db2

Question

I am trying to import a JOBFILE.CSV from my hard drive into the table JOB using the RUN SQL script in IBM DB2 cloud.
CALL SYSPROC.ADMIN_CMD('IMPORT FROM "C:/DATAFILE/JOBFILE.CSV"
OF DEL INSERT INTO JOB');
I am getting this error:
An I/O error (reason = "sqlofopn -2029060079") occurred while opening
the input file.. SQLCODE=-3030, SQLSTATE= , DRIVER=4.25.1301
It seems the path that I have set is not working. As I have researched JOBFILE.CSV must be loaded first into the DB2 server before the IMPORT script could run.

Answer 1

With a file located on a local client there are two options "basic" options (excluding e.g. Db2 Cloud REST API to import the data)
LOAD with a CLIENT keyword (work also for all Db2 LUW on-premise releases)
Insert from an EXTERNAL TABLE (available in Db2 Cloud, Warehouse and 11.5 release)
The latter is typically the fastest. See an example with an input like this:
db2 "create table import_test(c1 int, c2 varchar(10))"
echo "1,'test1'" > data.del
echo "2,'test2'" >> data.del
To insert the data from the client we need we can run:
db2 "INSERT INTO import_test SELECT * FROM EXTERNAL '/home/db2v111/data.del' USING (DELIMITER ',' REMOTESOURCE YES)"
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
db2 "select * from import_test"
