Teradata Tools and Utilities

FastExport is a command-driven utility that uses multiple sessions to quickly transfer large amounts of data from tables and views of a 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 workstation-attached client system
  • An Output Modification (OUTMOD) routine written to select, validate, and preprocess the exported data
    Full tape support is not available for any function in FastExport for workstation-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.
