Backup and Restore of Aster Database Using Teradata Data Stream Architecture (Teradata DSA-Aster BAR) is no longer a supported feature of AD 6.20.xx.xx releases. Aster Database customers may continue to use the existing Aster backup utility. For additional information about this feature support change, contact your Customer Support Representative.

The use of HIGH and MEDIUM levels of compression when new tables and indexes are created is disallowed with this release. These levels are also disallowed in the ALTER TABLE and ALTER INDEX commands. However, existing tables and indexes with HIGH and MEDIUM levels of compression will continue to be supported, so you will not be required to recreate tables and indexes. However, you are required to change scripts that create and alter tables and indexes to use only the accepted syntax.
