UNIX and Windows Examples - FastLoad

UNIX and Windows Examples

Following are examples of three ways to invoke Teradata FastLoad on network‑attached client systems:

fastload </home/fluser/tests/test1 >/home/fluser/tests/out1

This command specifies both an input file and an output file:

/home/fluser/tests/test1 is the input file that provides the Teradata FastLoad job script.

/home/fluser/tests/out1 is the destination file for output data.

fastload </home/fluser/tests/test1

This command specifies only an input file. In this case, the output is written to the standard output device, which is usually a terminal.

fastload

This command specifies neither an input nor an output device. In this case, the terminal provides both the command input and the output data destination.
