Though the procedures are somewhat different, depending on the error table, correcting errors is a three-step process:
- The error information is retrieved from the error tables on the Teradata Database.
- Errors are evaluated and corrected.
- Corrected records are inserted into the Teradata FastLoad table.
After the job has completed, another utility, such as BTEQ, must be used to access the Teradata Database, because Teradata FastLoad only operates on an empty table. The procedures and examples in the following subsections are performed under BTEQ. They assume BTEQ has been invoked and logged on to the Teradata Database. For more information about using BTEQ, see the Basic Teradata Query Reference (B035-2414).
