Assume that the following foreign table has been created on Parquet data in Amazon S3 bucket:
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE riverflow_parquet
, EXTERNAL SECURITY DEFINER TRUSTED DOCDEF_AUTH
(
  Location VARCHAR(2048) CHARACTER SET UNICODE CASESPECIFIC
  , GageHeight2 DOUBLE PRECISION FORMAT '-ZZZ9.99'
  , Flow DOUBLE PRECISION FORMAT '-ZZZZ9.99'
  , site_no BIGINT
  , datetime VARCHAR(16) CHARACTER SET UNICODE CASESPECIFIC
  , Precipitation DOUBLE PRECISION FORMAT '-ZZZ9.99'
  , GageHeight DOUBLE PRECISION FORMAT '-ZZZ9.99'
)
USING (
    LOCATION ('/s3/s3.amazonaws.com/td-usgs-us-east-1/PARQUETDATA/')
    STOREDAS ('PARQUET')
) NO PRIMARY INDEX
, PARTITION BY COLUMN ;

The following examples show how to create a tdplyr tbl_teradata on this table and process this tbl_teradata with other tdplyr API's.

Create an object of class "tbl_teradta"on the foreign table

# Create object(s) of class "tbl_teradata" on foreign table which contains data in PARQUET format on S3
> riverflow <- tbl(con, "riverflow_parquet")

Check Properties of the tbl_teradata

  • Display the structure of the tbl_teradata.
    # Get the structure of tbl_teradata
    > str(riverflow)
    List of 3
     $ src  :List of 2
      ..$ con  :Formal class 'Teradata' [package ".GlobalEnv"] with 6 slots

      ..$ disco: NULL
      ..- attr(*, "class")= chr [1:4] "src_Teradata" "src_dbi" "src_sql" "src"
     $ ops  :List of 2
      ..$ x   : 'ident' chr "riverflow_parquet"
      ..$ vars: chr [1:7] "Location" "GageHeight2" "Flow" "site_no" ...
      ..- attr(*, "class")= chr [1:3] "op_base_remote" "op_base" "op"

     - attr(*, "class")= chr [1:5] "tbl_teradata" "tbl_dbi" "tbl_sql" "tbl_lazy" ...
  • Display the columns in the tbl_teradata.
    # As seen from create table statement, table has two columns 'Location' and 'PAYLOAD'
    > colnames(riverflow)
    'Location''GageHeight2''Flow''site_no''datetime''Precipitation''GageHeight'
  • Check the types of the columns.
    # Data type check
    > riverflow$types
    CV
    'varchar'
    F
    'float'
    F
    'float'

  • Print the tbl_teradata.
    # Print the tbl_teradata.
    # Equivalent SQL:
