Create Foreign Table - Advanced SQL Engine - Teradata Database

The following statement defines a foreign table using the authorization object called MyAuthObj. The foreign table is for CSV formatted river flow data stored in an Amazon S3 bucket.

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE riverflow_csv,
  EXTERNAL SECURITY MyAuthObj
  USING (
    LOCATION ('/s3/YOUR-BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com/CSVDATA/09513780/')
  );

The following statement shows the new foreign table:

SHOW TABLE riverflow_csv;

Result:
