The Aster Loader Tool, ncluster_loader, is a command-line application for bulk-loading data from files into an Aster instance. It provides an alternative to the SQL COPY statement. Each invocation of the Aster Loader Tool is equivalent to a single invocation of the COPY statement. Each invocation is a single database transaction that loads the contents of the specified data file or files into the specified table or tables. For information on using ncluster_loader, refer to the Teradata AsterĀ® Client Guide on http://www.info.teradata.com
