This is no real question, more something I stumbled upon: Unload will create 1 subdir, but not a hierarchy of 2? If directory X doesn't exist it is not created in the following statement: unload select * from T into file 'c:\\X\\Y\\file.txt' you get: ERROR Cannot access file 'c:\X\Y\file.txt' -- No such file or directory but if X exists the not existing Y will be created. |

For what ever reason, perhaps historical or perhaps a simple omission, the code that creates/opens the output file for the unload statement only attempts to create the parent directory ... and does not handle the case of a non-existent parent's parent directory. It would be a reasonable (and fairly easy to implement) enhancement to create multiple levels of directories. IIRC Backup Database is behaving identically, while dbbackup will prompt for creation of a single sub folder.
