Application developers can write functions and scripts in almost any programming language, install and execute them inside Vantage, and run them in parallel for efficient analysis of large data sets.
Customers can do the following:
- Write scripts in languages such as Ruby, Python, and Perl.
- Install the scripts, database server configuration files, or flat files using a Teradata-supplied external stored procedure.
- Use the SCRIPT table operator to execute the scripts on all AMPs.
- Use Vantage rows as input to the scripts.
External stored procedures INSTALL_FILE, REPLACE_FILE, REMOVE_FILE, and REDISTRIBUTE_FILE manage the user-installed files on all nodes.
