Rules and Guidelines for Teradata External Loaders

Rules and Guidelines for Teradata External Loaders

Use the following rules and guidelines when you use external loaders to load to Teradata:
  • The Integration Service can use Teradata external loaders to load fixed-width and delimited flat files to a Teradata database. Since all Teradata loaders delimit individual records using the line-feed (\n) character, you cannot use the line-feed character as a delimiter for Teradata loaders.
  • If a session contains one partition, the target output file name, including the file extension, must not exceed 27 characters. If the session contains multiple partitions, the target output file name, including the file extension, must not exceed 25 characters.
  • You cannot use the Teradata external loaders to load binary data.
  • When you load to Teradata using named pipes, set the checkpoint value to 0 to prevent external loaders from performing checkpoint operations.
  • You can specify error, log, or work table names, depending on the loader you use. You can also specify error, log, or work database names.
  • You can override the control file in the session properties.
  • When you use Teradata, you can enter PmNullPasswd as the database password to prevent the password from appearing in the control file. Instead, the Integration Service writes an empty string for the password in the control file.
