I am migrating my scripts from MYSQL to DB2 and need to know what character type to use for the unlimited text fields from MYSQL to DB2.
 
Depending on how large this field is you might use a CLOB or just a variable Char field. Thwe CLOB is a character Large object and can be stored on a seperate table with a pointer to it so DB2 does not need to read that field for joins and other queries not requiring this field.<br>
Try the IBM web site -- <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> and looka t the DB2 library. (I don't have the exact address handy) an this should give you a better idea as to which data type to use.<br>
