Schema Class

The schema class of attributes contains information about the format of the data used in the task. This information is used by the drivers to process the data being loaded and exported.

When loading data with the Load, Update, or Stream drivers, ensure that the row data is consistent with the layout defined in the input schema. Discrepancies in the length of the row data could result in data corruption. If the row data is longer than defined in the input schema during PutRow or PutBuffer, Teradata PT will terminate with an error.

Note: On mainframe‑attached z/OS platforms, connection.h is located in TWB.H(CONNECTI). Notes have been made for the following syntax examples to use #include “connecti.h” instead of “connection.h.”

AddColumn

Defines a column variable within the schema.

Used to specify the name and type for a field in input and output data. Similar to the DEFINE command in Teradata FastLoad Reference and the FIELD command in Teradata MultiLoad Reference, Teradata Parallel Data Pump Reference, and Teradata FastExport Reference.

For example, the calls to schema->AddColumn() map to the DEFINE fields in the Teradata FastLoad script file.

#include “connection.h”
Void
AddColumn(
Char* colName,
	TD_DataType 			datatype,
TD_ColumnSize
size = 0,
TD_ColumnPrecision
precision = 0,
	TD_ColumnScale			
scale = 0);

where these parameters specify:

  • colName Input for column name.
  • dataType Input for the column’s SQL data type.
  • size Input for column size.
  • precision Input for Column precision (Only applicable to decimal and period types).
  • scale Input for Column scale (Only applicable to decimal type).
  • On mainframe‑attached z/OS platforms, connection.h is located in TWB.H(CONNECTI). Use #include “connecti.h” instead of “connection.h.”
