Teradata® Query Service is a middleware that provides REST APIs for connecting to Teradata Vantage. Query Service allows you to query a Teradata-supported database from web pages, mobile devices, or scripting language using HTTP as the wire protocol and JSON as the data interchange format. Applications can use Query Service to access a Teradata-supported database without a driver.
Query Service provides APIs to:
- Configure Teradata-supported systems
- Submit SQL queries and access responses
- Create database sessions
- Access database and object metadata
Query Service is available on VantageCloud Enterprise and VantageCore.
- If you are a VantageCloud Enterprise user, Teradata provisions, monitors, and manages Query Service in your environment. Contact Teradata Support to set up Query Service.
- If you are a VantageCore user, you should deploy and manage Query Service. See Deploying Query Service on VantageCore.
