Teradata Tools and Utilities

Use the Tools menu to launch the Control Center, which is a powerful tool for working with QCDs and QCF-related objects, creating and administering users, and specifying the connectivity type. The Tools menu and toolbar serve many functions. When an execution plan is open, use the menu or toolbar to find differences in compared plans and to go to specific plan steps. Also use the Tools menu or toolbar to execute SQL commands, capture execution plans and insert them into the QCD, and set other program options.
