- When moving data from a flat file to a database table, the data schema is inferred from the target table.
- When moving data between database tables, the data schema is inferred from either:
- The Source table specified in the --SourceTable option, or
- The SQL SELECT statement defined in the --SelectStmt option.
An error is returned if no target table is specified.
If the source data does not match the inferred schema, the Easy Loader job terminates with an error.
