Purpose

Changes a Teradata Database system or table from Active state to Read Only state.

Syntax

SYSTEM FREEZE {tpdid[,tpdid,...]} | {database.tablename [ON tpdid[,tpdid,...]]} ["reason"];

Parameters

database.tablename
Name of a database and table currently in the Unity Data Dictionary. The table name that you specify must be fully qualified.
tdpid
Unique identifier (TDPID) of a Teradata Database system.
"reason"
User description of why the object is having its state changed.

Usage Considerations

Unless a table is specified, running this command sets all tables to Read-Only. Specify a single table to mark it Read-Only.

If making a state change for a specific table, then the table on all Teradata Database systems becomes Read Only.

Example

The following example demonstrates placing a Teradata Database system with the TDPID fast in Read Only state.

unityadmin>  system freeze fast; 
The request is currently processing as operation number 3.
You may check its status using the command 'operation check 3'.
