Because non-updatable columns can be read, they can
also be dumped to a .d data file. But, these .d data
files cannot be loaded with the load .d utility
because of their non-updatable column status. The non-updatable
values are applied by the server and therefore cannot be retained
from the client. Use foreign database tools to dump and load tables with
non-updatable columns that are controlled by the server. Alternatively, write
a program to read data from your .d data file with non-updatable
types into a temp table omitting the non-updatable columns using
the EXCEPT phrase when you write them.
