FastExport is a command-driven utility that uses multiple sessions to quickly transfer large amounts of data from tables and views of Teradata Database to a client-based application.
Data can be exported from any table or view where the SELECT privilege has been granted. The destination for the exported data can be:
- A file on a mainframe-attached or network-attached client system
- An Output Modification (OUTMOD) routine written to select, validate, and preprocess the exported dataFull tape support is not available for any function in FastExport for network-attached client systems. To export data to a tape, write a custom access module that interfaces with the tape device. For information about how to write a custom access module, see the Teradata Tools and Utilities Access Module Programmer Guide (B035-2424).
