Common Pitfalls When Exporting DB2 to Excel
One worksheet holds 1,048,576 rows, so anything larger has to be split across sheets or files.
Excel dates are serial numbers, so a date column only displays correctly when the cell format is set explicitly.
Text that looks numeric loses its leading zeros unless the column is forced to text.
A workbook allows 255 sheets, which caps batch exports that write one sheet per table.
CLOB and BLOB values should be cast explicitly, or they may come out as locator references.
DB2 formats dates on the client side, so set an explicit output format first.
