Teradata FastExport

Teradata FastExport extracts large quantities of data in parallel from Vantage to a client. The utility is the functional complement of the FastLoad and MultiLoad utilities.

Teradata FastExport can do the following:
  • Export tables to client files.
  • Export data to an Output Modification (OUTMOD) routine.

    You can write an OUTMOD routine to select, validate, and preprocess exported data.

  • Perform block transfers with multisession parallelism.

Teradata FastLoad

Teradata FastLoad loads data into unpopulated tables only. Both the client and server environments support Teradata FastLoad.

Teradata FastLoad can do the following:
  • Load data into an empty table.

    FastLoad loads data into one table per job. To load data into more than one table, submit multiple FastLoad jobs.

  • Perform block transfers with multisession parallelism.

Teradata MultiLoad

Teradata MultiLoad supports bulk inserts, updates, and deletes for unpopulated or populated database tables. Both client and server environments support Teradata MultiLoad.

Teradata MultiLoad can do the following:
  • Run against multiple tables.
  • Perform block transfers with multisession parallelism.
  • Load data from multiple input source files.
  • Pack multiple SQL statements and associated data into a request.
  • Perform data upserts.

Teradata Parallel Data Pump

Teradata Parallel Data Pump (TPump) uses standard SQL (not block transfers) to maintain data in tables.

TPump has a resource governing method whereby you can control the use of system resources by specifying how many inserts and updates occur minute-by-minute. This method enables background maintenance for insert, delete, and update operations at any time Vantage is in use.

TPump has the following features:
  • Unlimited number of instances running concurrently.
  • Conventional row hash locking, which provides some concurrent read and write access to the target tables.
  • Same restart, portability, and scalability as Teradata MultiLoad.
  • Data upsert capability.
