Teradata Vantage™ is our flagship analytic platform offering, which evolved from our industry-leading Teradata® Database. Until references in content are updated to reflect this change, the term Teradata Database is synonymous with Teradata Vantage.
This document covers the basics of database administration, giving you the essential tasks and the procedures for doing them. Sections in this document are either designed for all DBAs or split tasks into two major groupings indicated in the section title: those for application DBAs, who are concerned with the design and performance of queries, and administrative DBAs, who are responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the Vantage system.
This document provides more details on topics of interest primarily to database administrators. Where complete syntax is necessary or in-depth details are required, this document may point you to other documents with more extensive information.
