Hey there, #1: It seems Sqoop2 does support import and export from and to DB2 ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-329). #2: There shouldn't be any unexpected transformations on Binary data. With other data types, you have the option of specifying what value will be used as null. You can, of course, define arbitrary transformations by using a free form query.
