## load_systab

### Use

System tables are internal tables of the system that users do not define or change.

To load the system tables, the Database Manager needs to know the name and password of the database system administrator. If this is not the case, enter this information along with the DBM command for loading the system tables.

After you have installed a new version of the database software and transferred the database instance to this version (that is, upgraded it), you need to reload the system tables.

You do not need to reload system tables when restoring a database instance normally. If you are making a copy of the database however and have thus restored the data backup for database instance A in a database instance B then you need to finish off by loading the system tables. To do this, you require the data of the database system administrator stored in the data backup that has been imported.
