  1. Add the directory where BTEQ resides to the search path.
  2. Change directory to the BTEQ directory.
  3. Start BTEQ:

    bteq

    Output similar to the following appears:
    Teradata BTEQ 15.00.00.00 for platform.

    Enter your logon or BTEQ command:
  4. Log on to the Teradata Database:

    .logon dbcpath/username

    Enter the BTEQ logon command with a logon ID. Include the dbcpath if the Teradata Database dbcpath is not the default i_dbcpath specified in clispb.dat.

  5. When prompted, enter the password. For example, if the Teradata Database has a dbcpath of Finance, the username is fml, and the password is fml, type:
    • .logon Finance/fml
    • Password: fml
    If the logon is successful, output similar to the following appears:
    *** Logon successfully completed.

  6. Submit a sample Teradata SQL query:

    SELECT time;

    If the test passes, output similar to the following appears.
    *** Query completed. One row found. One column returned.    
    *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.                      
                        Time                   
                      --------                  
                      11:09:11
  7. Log off of the Teradata Database and exit BTEQ.
