There was a feature called DataLinks that allowed to access data in files from SQL. This was introduced in Db2 V5.2 and removed in V9.7. However, in v11.5 there is a "new" feature called external tables. What is the difference between these two approaches? - Data Links Manage - http://users.sdsc.edu/~jrowley/db2/Data%20Links%20Manager%20QB.pdf - External tables - https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPGG_11.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.ref.doc/doc/r_create_ext_table.html
