You can move data from a database in big-endian format to a database in little-endian format.
The following example loads a table named lineitem and identifies one extract file on UFS (file system) called lineitem_binary.inp.
Check operating system documentation for the maximum file size for your system. For example, an extract file on Sun Solaris x64 has a maximum size of 512GB.
For example, SAP Sybase IQ databases built on Sun64 SPARC systems store binary data in big-endian (most significant byte first) format. Because Sun Solaris x64 is a little-endian system, you cannot upgrade SAP Sybase IQ databases built on Sun64 SPARC with ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE to run on Sun Solaris x64 systems.
