Teradata BTEQ BTEQ stands for Basic Teradata Query
It is a general-purpose, command-based program that allows users on a workstation to communicate
with one or more Teradata RDBMS systems
Allows user to format reports for both print and screen output.
BTEQ formats the results and returns them to the screen, a file, or to a designated printer.
Can be run in both interactive and batch mode

Multi Load
MultiLoad is a command-driven utility
Can be used to do fast, high-volume maintenance on multiple tables and views
Each MultiLoad import task can do multiple data insert, update, and delete functions on up to five different tables or views.
Each MultiLoad delete task can remove large numbers of rows from a single table.
Can be run in interactive or batch mode
![Page 13: Teradata Bteq,Mload,Fload,Fexport,Tpump and Sampling](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022033022/55cf9705550346d0338f4f83/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Multi Load – What it does… Five different phases in a multiload task
Preliminary phase - Parses and validates all of the MultiLoad commands and Teradata SQL statements in your MultiLoad job.
- Establishes sessions and process control with the Teradata RDBMS.
- Submits special Teradata SQL requests to the Teradata RDBMS.
- Creates and protects temporary work tables and error tables in the Teradata RDBMS.
DML Transaction - submits the DML statements specifying the insert, update and delete tasks to the Teradata RDBMS.
Acquisition - Imports data from the specified input data source.
(for an import task) - Evaluates each record according to specified application
conditions.
- Loads the selected records into the worktables in the
Teradata RDBMS.
(There is no acquisition phase activity for a MultiLoad delete task.)
![Page 14: Teradata Bteq,Mload,Fload,Fexport,Tpump and Sampling](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022033022/55cf9705550346d0338f4f83/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Multi Load – What it does…Application - Acquires locks on the specified target tables and views in the
Teradata RDBMS.
- For an import task, inserts the data from the temporary work
tables into the target tables or views in the Teradata RDBMS.
- For a delete task, deletes the specified rows from the target
table in the Teradata RDBMS.
- Updates the error tables associated with each MultiLoad task.
Cleanup - Forces an automatic restart/rebuild if an AMP went down
and came back online during the application phase.
- Releases all locks on the target tables and views.
- Drops the temporary work tables and all empty error tables
from the Teradata RDBMS.
- Reports the transaction statistics associated with the import
and delete tasks.

Invoking MultiLoad
mload </home/mluser/tests/test1 >/home/mluser/tests/out1
This command specifies both an input file and an output file:
• /home/mluser/tests/test1 is the input file that provides the MultiLoad job script.
• /home/mluser/tests/out1 is the destination file for output data.
mload </home/mluser/tests/test1
This command specifies only an input file. In this case, the output is written to the standard output device
mload
This command specifies neither an input nor an output device. In this case, terminal provides both the command input and the output data destination.

Fast Load Command driven utility used for loading large amount of
data into Teradata tables
Uses multiple sessions to load data
Only one table can be loaded per job
Target table must be empty and have no secondary indexes
Does not load duplicate records even if the target is a multiset table.
Can be invoked in batch or interactive mode
Can be run on both network-attached and channel-attached systems
![Page 21: Teradata Bteq,Mload,Fload,Fexport,Tpump and Sampling](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022033022/55cf9705550346d0338f4f83/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Fast Load – what it does… Logs on to the Teradata RDBMS for a specified number of
sessions, using the username, password and tdpid/acctid information.
Load the input data into the FastLoad table on the Teradata RDBMS.
Logs off from the Teradata RDBMS
If the load operation was successful, return the following information about the FastLoad operation and then terminate: Total number of records read, skipped and sent to the Teradata
RDBMS
Number of errors posted to the FastLoad error tables
Number of inserts applied
Number of duplicate rows
![Page 22: Teradata Bteq,Mload,Fload,Fexport,Tpump and Sampling](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022033022/55cf9705550346d0338f4f83/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Fast Load – Input data formats Formatted data - conforms to the format of data from a
Teradata RDBMS source, such as BTEQ export file.
Each record has: A 2-byte data length field
A variable length indicator field (optional)
A variable length input data field
A 1-byte end-of record delimiter
Unformatted data – does not conform to Teradata source format
Each record has: A variable length indicator field (optional)
A variable length input data field
No end-of record delimiter
![Page 23: Teradata Bteq,Mload,Fload,Fexport,Tpump and Sampling](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022033022/55cf9705550346d0338f4f83/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Fast Load – Input data formats
Binary format – similar to Formatted data format except that no end-of-record delimiter is present
Each record has: A 2-byte data length field
A variable length indicator field (optional)
A variable length input data field
Text format – similar to fixed width files
Variable-length text – similar to variable length delimited text files
The delimiter is specifed using SET RECORD command in the fastload script

Terminating Fastload Normal termination
.Logoff/.Quit command – terminates and logs off the fastload session
– If given before END LOADING the fastload is paused – useful in multi-file fastload
Return Status:
0 – job completes normally
4 – warning condition occurred
8 – user error occurred
12 – fatal error occurred
16 – no message destination is available
The 2 error tables are either dropped or maintained based on the return code
Abort termination Network attached system – press ctrl+c thrice
Channel attached system – abort using the client system console
![Page 29: Teradata Bteq,Mload,Fload,Fexport,Tpump and Sampling](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022033022/55cf9705550346d0338f4f83/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Paused Fastload…
The fastload may be paused due to error conditions or for running multifile fastload jobs.
When a fastload is paused, the error tables are not dropped and the target table is locked.
For multifile fastload, no end loading will be specified.
In multifile fastload job, the target table will be in locked state till the final load script with the end loading command is run.
To release the target table lock, run the fastload script with same error tables and only begin & end loading statements.

TPump
TPump is a data loading utility that helps you maintain (update, delete, insert) the data
Used if the system is too busy to devote a designated batch window to upload data
Provides an alternative to MultiLoad for the low volume batch maintenance of large databases
Command driven
Complements Multiload
Multiload – bulk load entire data in a single batch
TPump – load the data in a stream throughout the day
![Page 44: Teradata Bteq,Mload,Fload,Fexport,Tpump and Sampling](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022033022/55cf9705550346d0338f4f83/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Tpump-Real Time usage.
To load near real time data in multiple tables.
For Cloning different operations on Target tables at the same time by different users.
To load into the Table where the traffic is different. [Morning high, evening low etc..,.]
![Page 45: Teradata Bteq,Mload,Fload,Fexport,Tpump and Sampling](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022033022/55cf9705550346d0338f4f83/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Difference between Tpump and Mload
Tpump loads max of 64 tables, Mload loads 5.
No Table level lock in Tpump, row level block instead.
Creates Macros for doing DML operations. Mload runs in phases.
Less Volume of data is handled by Tpump, more is handled by Moad.
