Use TPT or Teradata Studio to run Teradata Connector for Hadoop (TDCH) to move data between Hadoop and the SQL Engine. TDCH can also be used without TPT or Teradata Studio. Use TPT to move data between the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and Teradata without using the TDCH interface. TDCH is a set of APIs and tools supporting high performance parallel bi-directional data movement between the SQL Engine and the Hadoop ecosystem of products.

Teradata Vantage™ is our flagship analytic platform offering, which evolved from our industry-leading Teradata Database. Until references in content are updated to reflect this change, the term Teradata Database is synonymous with Teradata Vantage. Advanced SQL Engine is a core capability of Teradata Vantage, based on our best-in-class Teradata Database. Advanced SQL refers to the ability to run advanced analytic functions beyond that of standard SQL.
