Hi,
I have installed vmware and trying to load data from local machine to vmware datbase(TD Express) but bteq is not working in local machine due to below error

 *** CLI error: MTDP: EM_GSSINITFAIL(235): call to gss_init failed. [terasso]Cannot load TDGSS library. The TDGSS Library currently has initialization in progress already

I work for a bit company with a lot of Business Objects users. One of our most popular universes points to a Teradata environment. This universe is by far our best BI resource. It has a ton of data and it delivers it to the users lightning fast.

Any assistance would be welcomed.  I cannot seem to put the Interval in a format that Teradata likes.  The column data looks like "00 02:00:00.000000".  We are extracting it from ORacle and loading to Teradata version 15.10.  I am able to load most other data types no problem, but I cannot find the format needed to make this happy.

Hi all,
I am coding for SCD (Slowly changing Dimension) 2 in BTEQ script. What should be ideal code to avoid mess up of data considering SCD-2?
As of now, if there is an error we quit but is there any optimal solution?

Hi, i have a bteq which uses repeat function to load a file into a table. we have a parameter for the input file. if the parameter is not available, the script is failing with a Return code 0, inspite of using the label to exit if errorcode <>0.

Hello!

Using tdwallet version 15.10.00.02
I can not get $tdwallet to work in any way.  The tdwallet utility works and lets me add entries and delete entries.  But, in a bteq, the value is not substituted and I get a logon error.  For ease, I created an entry u with a value of the username and p with the password. 

Good afternoon.

I'm trying to export the query result below by BTEQ. I am using the following script.

SELECT DATABASENAME AS "Banco de Dados"

,SUM(CURRENTPERM) AS "Ocupado"

,(MAX(CURRENTPERM) * 72) AS "Ocupado_comskew"

,SUM(MAXPERM) AS "Alocado"

,Alocado - Ocupado AS "Disponível"

Hi All,
 
I wanted to run bteq scripts located on my local mac by connecting to a remote Linux server which is used to connect to Teradata db.
How this can be any, any insights will be very helpful.
 
Thank you.
 

I have a 430 Lines of Stored procedure in a SQL file.

I have scoured the downloads section and am unable to find the installer for the Teradata Tools and Utilities 15.10 for OS X. I know it existed at some point, as I have bteq working on a MacBook Pro, I'm trying to migrate a bteq process to an iMac.

I created a file test_it.bat and test_it.txt, when I call test_it.bat from a command prompt the BTEQ script keeps stopping and asking to enter logon info and I have the logon command specified in the test_it.txt file:
test_it.bat
echo off
cd G:\COMMON\dw\Teradata_Output

Hi...
Quite new to BTEQ - but 5 years experience in SQL assistant.
Question is if there are default restrictions to "write" from BTEQ into a DB-table.
Now, in BTEQ I'm succesfull to logon and run the SQL...

Hello All,

I am doing a simple Select Insert through a Bteq job like below. The count is huge around 500 millions.

This warning was returned in BTEQ after executing the following query. Is there something missing with the syntax? Please note that the SESSION TRANSACTION was set to ANSI and SESSION SQLFLAG was set to ENTRY. Both were configured intentionally.

Hi,
Currently, I execute BTEQ scripts via a generated .Bat file with each script having a call to BTEQ similar to below:

Hi ,
 
I am deleting 80 millions of records from a table , for this tpt is taking 12 hours to complete where as bteq deleting data in just 2 hours. Actually tpt should be more faster than the bteq.  Please suggest me how can i avoid this long run thrugh tpt.

Hello experts,

I have a problem using import and export with bteq. I have the following simple table in DB1 and DB2:

I have bteq .RUN command sandwiched by .OS calls which log the start and end date times of the .RUN. The dates are gotten by calls to UNIX 'date' command. The START date is fine, however, my COMPLETED date is always equal to my START date. I don't see how that's possible because the 'date' command is invoked fresh on the COMPLETED line.

Has anybody out there in the Teradata community tried creating a custom build system in Sublime Text (i.e. this guy did it for psql - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPd4m3PLVqU)? If so, would you mind sharing your build-system code as an example? Thanks in advance!

Need to load from Table 1 to Table 2. Which utility work well here and WHY?
Please explain the limitations and advantages against each utility.

Hi,
I am new BTEQ and scripting. I am checking if my source data is updated or not before i am updating my petspace tables.

group by 1;

Hi,
I have set up a BTEQ of an SQL code through PUTTY.
The code runs weekly. However, I run a drop statement and then a create table statement, thus losing the table of the previous week. Is there anyway for me to create a table of the following format so that I retain all the tables that I have created ?

Hi,

Is there any BTEQ command which can be used to generate explain plan whenever I provide sql to it.
I have got around 200 sqls to analyse. Instead of fetching explaining plan one by one for each I would like to set BTEQ to generate explain plan whenever it gets a sql.

Hi,
