Configuring DataDirect Bulk Load

You can take advantage of DataDirect Bulk Load through a program.
If you want to integrate bulk load functionality seamlessly into your application, you can include code to use the bulk load functions exposed by the driver.
For your applications to use DataDirect Bulk Load functionality, they must obtain driver connection handles and function pointers, as follows:
1. Use SQLGetInfo with the parameter SQL_DRIVER_HDBC to obtain the driver’s connection handle from the Driver Manager.
2. Use SQLGetInfo with the parameter SQL_DRIVER_HLIB to obtain the driver’s shared library or DLL handle from the Driver Manager.
3. Obtain function pointers to the bulk load functions using the function name resolution method specific to your operating system. The bulk.c example program shipped with the drivers contains the function resolveName that illustrates how to obtain function pointers to the bulk load functions.
See DataDirect Bulk Load Functions for code samples and further information.
