Example: Creating an AUTHORIZATION OBJECT for Use with NOS - Teradata Vantage - Analytics Database

Run the following command to create an authorization object to access external object store:

CREATE AUTHORIZATION MyAuthObj
USER 'user_name'
PASSWORD 'password';

Where:

• user_name is the ACCESS_KEY or Storage Account Name to your external object store.
• password is the secret access key, Key, SAS Token, or Secure Email and Secret Access Key depending on your external object store.

If you are accessing a public bucket, put empty strings for USER and PASSWORD, enclosed in straight quotes. For example:

CREATE AUTHORIZATION MyAuthObj
USER ''
PASSWORD '';

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE riverflow_csv
, EXTERNAL SECURITY  MyAuthObj
USING ( LOCATION('/s3/td-usgs-public.s3.amazonaws.com/CSVDATA/') );
