Teradata Vantage

Advanced SQL Engine (SQL Engine) includes embedded analytic functions supporting high-speed analytics processing required to operationalize analytics. It is the most comprehensive SQL Engine with the highest available and resilient data platform in the industry.

Advanced SQL Engine is designed for decision support. It handles complex data requirements and manages the data warehouse environment through the use of a parallel implementation that automatically distributes data and balances workloads. Parallel processing is an efficient method of handling complex tasks like ad-hoc queries, as it breaks a task into smaller subtasks that are managed concurrently by multiple work units. The support of query and workload parallelism in Advanced SQL Engine enables better performance and higher throughput levels as a relational database management system (RDBMS).
