You can create Vertica targets in the Target Designer.
You can use relational mode to read large volumes of data from a Vertica source. To read data in relational mode, you must create a Vertica relational connection and configure the session to use a relational reader.
You can use relational mode to update or delete data in a Vertica target. To write data in relational mode, you must create a Vertica relational connection and configure the session to use a relational writer.
When you use bulk mode to write large volumes of data to a Vertica target, you can configure the session to create a staging file. On UNIX operating systems, when you enable file staging, you can also compress the data in a GZIP format. By compressing the data, you can reduce the size of data that is transferred over the network and improve session performance.
You can run sessions on a grid to improve session performance.
The PowerCenter Integration Service can push transformation logic to Vertica sources and targets that use native drivers. For more information, see the
