Using User-Defined Formats as Input

If you use user-defined input formats, add event rules on the Format Fetched event. Without these event rules, the system ignores the format, and the data from the input table is never made available to the table conversion. If the table conversion does not require event rule logic, add comments in the Format Fetched event in Event Rules Design.

User-defined formats work with text files and tables.

Because the procedure for importing and exporting data is database-specific, consult a database administrator for details.
