Teradata Tools and Utilities

Support commands establish the FastExport sessions with the database and define the operational support environment for the FastExport utility. Established support environment options remain in effect until another support command changes them. Support commands do not specify a FastExport task.

The following table lists the FastExport commands that perform support activities.
