re: DB2 file export to a text file or csv, how much to export to csv?
I am working on a site that will use MySQL as the backend db server. The current site I am working on uses DB2. In the next few weeks, the idea is to transfer the DB2 over to MySQL.

The ISP that hosts the DB2 database is going to charge me big $$ to export the tables from the DB2 to csv files. As I can see, there are maybe 15 tables.

Question: What would be a fair price to pay to have the ISP export the DB2 tables to a csv file?

My current ISP who runs SQLServer said they would do it as a courtesy. In SQL server it would take about 10 minutes to do it (File ->export to .txt/csv)

This noob says thanks in advance!

[Background: DB2 ISP is losing the client, hosting and maintenance contract due to poor performance and bad customer service. Wait til you find out what he plans to charge me.]

*bump*

uhm, anyone have any ideas? or is DB2 not capable of exporting a text file? Dunno as I've never worked with DB2. I don't really know how difficult it is. With MySQL and SQLServer, this export to text file is done in less than 5 minutes...

thanks all who can step up for this

Exporting a table to a file is very simple in db2.
export to "file" of "filetype" [delimited by "delimiter"] "query"

I wouldn't pay that much for this (if anything)
