Teradata GeoImport Process - Geospatial Utilities

The following steps and examples describe how to import with the Teradata GeoImport utility.

1. Drop the customers table from the database:

   DROP TABLE customers;

2. Run TDGeoImport to import the ESRI shape files into the database:
   Include the terajdbc4.jar, tdgssconfig.jar, and tdgeospatial.jar in the classpath.

   • 32-bit path:

     cd c:\temp\TdGeoImportExport\bin
     java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -classpath
     .;"c:\Program Files\Teradata\Tdat\LTDBMS\bin\terajdbc4.jar";
     "c:\Program Files\Teradata\Tdat\LTDBMS\bin\tdgssconfig.jar";
     "C:\Program Files(x86)\Teradata\Client\<version>\bin\tdgeospatial.jar"; 
     com.teradata.geo.TDGeoImport -l hyvm20/ geouser, geouser -s geouser
     -f c:\temp\geodata -n customers
     

   • 64-bit path:

     cd c:\temp\TdGeoImportExport\bin
     java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -classpath
     .;"c:\Program Files\Teradata\Tdat\LTDBMS\bin\terajdbc4.jar";
     "c:\Program Files\Teradata\Tdat\LTDBMS\bin\tdgssconfig.jar";
     "C:\Program Files\Teradata\Client\<version>\bin\tdgeospatial.jar"; 
     com.teradata.geo.TDGeoImport -l hyvm20/ geouser, geouser -s geouser
     -f c:\temp\geodata -n customers 
     

3. Validate that shape files were loaded into customers table:

   SEL pkey, point (FORMAT 'X(20)'), cust_name (FORMAT 'X(20)'), 
   cust_zipco
FROM customers 
ORDER BY 1;
