    Access Module Commands

    The initialization string for the Teradata OLE DB Access Module consists of a single specification of the operating mode for the access module; however, to launch the Teradata OLE DB Access Module, the initialization string for BTEQ and the load and export utilities must be empty (""). (If the initialization string contains prompt, the script fails.) .
