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 further 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).
