The Teradata PT consumer operators in this section read data from the data stream and write it to an external target.

The Teradata PT job script invokes a consumer operator using an APPLY statement. For more information on using SELECT to specify a producer operator, see Coding the APPLY Statement and the section on APPLY in Teradata® Parallel Transporter Reference, B035-2436.

The following table briefly describes and compares the function of each Teradata PT operator that can be used as a consumer when moving data from a database to an external data target:
