Connecting Directly to Teradata Database

Setting Properties

To directly connect to Teradata Database, the consumer calls IDBProperties::SetProperties to set the three required properties listed in the earlier section “Setting the Data Source Object Required Properties Values” on page 22.

The consumer can also set the property DBPROP_INIT_PROMPT to DBPROMPT_NOPROMPT so the Teradata Connection dialog does not display. See section “Connecting Using Teradata Connection Dialog” on page 27 for more details.

In addition, a consumer can set other properties in the Initialization Property Group. The Initialization Property Group is named DBPROPSET_DBINIT. For example, some of the other properties are:

  • DBPROP_INIT_PROVIDERSTRING
  • DBPROP_INIT_TIMEOUT
  • For more details, refer to “Initialization Property Group” on page 98.
