What is BTEQ?

O BTEQ is a variant oI the core set oI ANSI SQL with proprietary extensions` that are
speciIic to Teradata databases only.
O Similar to PL/SQL Ior Oracle or T-SQL Ior MicrosoIt SQL Server BTEQ includes the
ability to perIorm database-vendor-speciIic instructions that are particular to Teradata.
What is AMP?
O AMP, acronym Ior 'Access Module Processor, is the type oI vproc used to manage the
database, handle Iile tasks and and manipulate the disk subsystem in the multi-tasking
and possibly parallel-processing environment oI the Teradata Database.
What is FSLDM?
O Financial Services Logical Data Model (Teradata FS-LDM 7.0) its developed by
Teradata Ior the Iinancial sectors (SpeciaIially Ior Bank).
What are SET tables and MULTISET tables in Teradata?
O Set table Duplicates are not allowed while insertion.
O Multiset table Duplicates are allowed.
How Teradata makes sure that there are no duplicate rows being inserted when its a SET table?
O Teradata will redirect the new inserted row as per its PI to the target AMP (on the basis oI
its row hash value), and iI it Iind same row hash value in that AMP (hash synonyms) then
it start comparing the whole row, and Iind out iI duplicate.
O II its a duplicate it skips it without throwing any error.
What is the diIIerence between Global temporary tables and Volatile temporary tables?
Global Temporary tables (GTT):
O When they are created, its deIinition goes into Data Dictionary.
O When materialized data goes in temp space.
O Data is active upto the session ends, and deIinition will remain there upto its not dropped
using Drop table statement.II dropped Irom some other session then its should be Drop
table all;
O an collect stats on GTT.
Volatile Temporary tables (VTT):
O Table DeIinition is stored in System cache.
O Data is stored in spool space.
O Data and table deIinition both are active only upto session ends.
O Stats can not be collected or VTT.
O an not have deIault values on column level while creating table.
What is Fastload in Teradata?
As the name suggests Fasload is used to load an empty table in Teradata. Its a two phase
approach to load the data. No intermediate tables are required.
1. It moves all the records to all the AMPs without any hashing .
2. AIter giving endloading command Amp will hashes the record and send it to the
appropriate AMPS .
However it has Iew prerequisites:
To perIorm Fload:
O Target table must be empty.
O PerIorms only Inserts (No updates).
O Only one target table at a time.
O an not have secondary indexes.
What is Multiload in Teradata?
Teradata MultiLoad is a command-driven parallel load utility Ior high-volume batch
maintenance on multiple tables and views oI the Teradata Database. It is specially designed Ior
high-speed batch creation and maintenance oI large databases.
O Multiload allows nonunique secondary indexes automatically rebuilds aIter loading.
Loading happens in 5 phases in mulitload:
1. Gets the import Iile and checks the script.
2. Reads the record Irom the base table and store in the work table.
3. Locks the table header.
4. DML opreations will be done in the tables
5. Table locks will be released and work tables will be dropped.
How Indexing works in Teradata?
In general indexing is a way to physically reorganise the records to enable some Irequently used
queries to run Iaster.
Indexes in Teradata are bit diIIerent than other databases.
Primary Index(PI) in Teradata is solely related to the data distribution i.e. decide how evenly the
data can be distributed across all AMPs.
Primary Index with Unique attribute or Primary Key (PK) becomes Unique Primary Index(UPI).
Uniqueness oI the Primary index is ensured by additional index on the same column which is a
Unique Secondary Index(USI). ThereIore UPI automatically creates USI on the same column.
The Secondary Indexes are the traditional indexes which are basically pointers to the original
row.

Teradata Architecture

Teradata Architecture
Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) - A single node that contains multiple PUs sharing a memory pool.
Massively parallel processing (MPP) - Multiple SMP nodes working together comprise a larger conIiguration. The
nodes are connected using the BYNET, which allows multiple virtual processors on multiple system nodes to
communicate with each other.
Shared Nothing Architecture(MPP) - means that each vproc(Access Module Processors and Parsing Engines are
Virtual processors) is responsible Ior its own portion oI the database and do not share common components.each
AMP manages its own dedicated memory space and the data on its own vdisk -- these are not shared with other
AMPs. Each AMP uses system resources independently oI the other AMPs so they can all work in parallel Ior high
system perIormance overall
A node is made up oI various hardware and soItwares
A clique is a set oI Teradata nodes that share a common set oI disk arrays. abling a subset oI nodes to the same
disk arrays creates a clique.
A disk array is a conIiguration oI disk drives that utilizes specialized controllers to manage and distribute data and
parity acroos the disks while providing Iast access and data integrity

Comparison of the Teradata loading utilities
The article contains comparison and main Ieatures oI the data loading tools provided by
Teradata. The tutorial illustrates main Ieatures oI Teradata Multiload , FastLoad and TPump
(Parallel Data Pump) and provides sample real-liIe uses oI those tools.

Scroll down Ior the sample scripts which illustrate diIIerent ways to load a sample Iixed-length
extract into a Teradata database using FastLoad, MultiLoad and Parallel Data Pump (TPump).
Teradata Fast Load
O Main use: to load empty tables at high speed.
O The target tables must be empty in order to use FastLoad
O Supports inserts only - it is not possible to perIorm updates or deletes in FastLoad
O Although Fastload uses multiple sessions to load the data, only one target table can be
processed at a time
O Teradata Fastload does not support join indexes, Ioreign key reIerences in target tables and
tables with secondary index deIined. It is necessary to drop any oI the constraints listed beIore
loading and recreate them aIterwards.
O The maximum number oI concurrent Teradata Fastload tasks can be adjusted by a system
administrator.
O Fastload runs in two operating modes: Interactive and Batch
O Duplicate rows will not be loaded
Teradata Multi Load
O Main use: Load, update and delete large tables in Teradata in a bulk mode
O EIIicient in loading very large tables
O Multiple tables can be loaded at a time.
O Updates data in a database in a block mode (one physical write can update multiple rows)
O Uses table-level locks
O Resource consumption: loading at the highest possible throughput
O Duplicate rows allowed
Teradata Parallel Data Pump (TPump)
O Main use: to load or update a small amount of target table rows
O Sends data to a database as a statement which is much slower than using bulk mode
O TPump uses row-level hash locks
O Resource consumption: loading speed can be adjusted using a built-in resource consumption
management utility. The throughput can be turned down in peak periods.
O TPump does not support MULTI-SET tables.
Teradata FastLoad example

What Is a Teradata Database?
DatabaseA collection oI permanently stored data that is:
Logically relateddata relates to other data.
Sharedmany users may access data.
Protectedaccess to data is controlled.
Manageddata has integrity and value.


What Is a Node?
Applications, the LAN gateway, and channel-driver soItware run as processes.
AMPs and PEs are virtual processors (vprocs) which run under Parallel Database
Extensions (PDE).
AMPs are associated with virtual disks (vdisks).
A single node is a Symmetric Multi-Processor (SMP)

MPP System
Multiple nodes are conIigured into a Massively Parallel Processing (MPP)
system.
A physical message-passing layer called the BYNET is used to interconnect
multiple nodes.
Teradata is linearly expandableas your database grows, additional nodes
may be added.
The BYNET can support 512 nodes.
Teradata runs on all NR Server platIorms


liques

A clique is a deIined set oI nodes
with Iailover capability.
All nodes in a clique are able to
access the vdisks oI all AMPs in
the clique.
II a node Iails, its vprocs will
migrate to the remaining nodes
in the clique.
Each node can support 128
vprocs.
