Cause
Resolution
Bulk operations can be performed using a dedicated bulk load protocol, that is, the protocol of the underlying database system, or by using parameter array batch operations. Dedicated protocols are generally more performance-efficient than parameter arrays. In some cases, however, you must use parameter arrays, for example, when the data to be loaded is in a data type not supported by the dedicated bulk protocol. The DB2 driver does not use the underlying bulk load protocol but it does support using parameter arrays.
