Log on
Use the Teradata SET command‑line interface to log on to a Teradata Database using either ODBC or CLIv2 connectivity.
Use the following command syntax to log on to a Teradata Database:
tset [-c|-l] <DSN_or_tdpid>\<username>\<password>
[-am <Authentication Mechanism>\<Authentication Parameter>]
[-scs <Session characterset>]
Note: When only the log‑on switch is specified in the command, the application remains open after a connection is established regardless of the xapp switch.
The following examples demonstrate ways to log on from the command line.
