Teradata PT replaces the Teradata Utilities. For example, instead of running FastLoad, Teradata PT uses the Load operator. Instead of running MultiLoad, Teradata PT uses the Update operator.
The following table compares Teradata PT operators with Teradata utilities.
| Teradata PT Operator | Utility Equivalent | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| DataConnector operator | Data Connector (PIOM) | Reads data from and writes data to flat files |
| DataConnector operator with the Teradata Access Module for WebSphere MQ | Same with Data Connector (PIOM) | Reads data from IBM WebSphere MQ |
| DataConnector operator with Teradata Access Module for Named Pipes | Same with Data Connector (PIOM) | Reads data from a named pipe |
| DDL operator | BTEQ | Executes DDL, DCL, and self-contained DML SQL statements |
| Export operator | FastExport | Exports data from Teradata Database (high-volume export) |
| FastExport OUTMOD Adapter operator | FastExport OUTMOD Routine | Preprocesses exported data with a FastExport OUTMOD routine before writing the data to a file |
| FastLoad INMOD Adapter operator | FastLoad INMOD Routine | Reads and preprocesses data from a FastLoad INMOD data source |
| Load operator | FastLoad | Loads an empty table (high-volume load) |
| MultiLoad INMOD Adapter operator | MultiLoad INMOD Routine | Reads and preprocesses data from a MultiLoad INMOD data source |
| ODBC operator | Teradata Access Module for OLEDB | Exports data from any non-Teradata Database that has an ODBC driver |
| OS Command operator | Client host operating system | Executes host operating system commands |
| SQL Inserter operator | BTEQ | Inserts data into a Teradata table using SQL protocol |
| SQL Selector operator | BTEQ | Selects data from a Teradata table using SQL protocol |
| Stream operator | TPump | Continuously loads Teradata tables using SQL protocol |
| Update operator | MultiLoad | Updates, inserts, and deletes rows |
