Smile Data import

Can I import in Qmf for windows a file from other sources (in this case it's a job that has elaborated DB2 data, but I could be in the need of using for instance Excel files or others) and compare its fields with DB2 tables in my query?

Thank you.

you can
you have to activate odbc sources in qmf/admin
declare the excel sheets as odbc sources
but you can not select data from db2 and excel at the same time in the same query, for this, you need the non-relational wrappers (federated databases)
and declare these sheets as nicknames for db2

The simplest way for this is then probably to load the data returned from one source (viz. excel) into a new table at the other side (viz. DB2); would that be possible?
