You can logon from a network-attached Teradata client using one of the following methods.
| Logon Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Command line | Used for BTEQ interactive mode. Enter logon elements interactively |
| ODBC connection | Used by ODBC applications. Set default logon parameters as part of configuring the ODBC driver connection. The system prompts for the user password. |
| Script | Used by scripted applications, for example, BTEQ and Teradata Parallel Transporter. Enter logon elements as script components, for example, Teradata Parallel Transporter scripts submit logon elements as operator attribute values. Logon syntax element names may vary among applications.
