Team,
 
We have an insert statement that is inserting around 92 million records into a table based on a select statement from another table.  The select piece runs fine, but the following step takes a long time.
We do a MERGE into table HUB_ENCOUNTER_MESSAGE from Spool 18767.

I have 2 tables.
 
One has the test locations, columns are:
Test_Date
Latitude
Longitude
 
The second table has the info about the locations, columns are:
Latitude
Longitude
Area

I am trying to understand how Datastage interacts with Teradata in Immedaite mode. During my testing, I created a Datastage job with TD connector as  source and destination to just select from one table and load into another table. 

Teradata 13.10 is rejecting my insert with the error:
 The string contains an untranslatable character. (6706)
Here is my INSERT statement:
Insert Into CCDW_T.UTest (ucol, i) SELECT 'ɂ',578;
This is my CREATE Table:

Hi All,
We are inserting data in an empty table through 2 Insert...Select statements in our Bteq scripts One of which is Consuming a lot of CPU Time (2 hours )though it is inserting 3.6 Million rows.
We reached our DBA's for any possibility of Query Optimization.

I am new to Teradata and debugging a issue related to insert. I have two tables in teradata. Find below the definitions
CREATE SET TABLE TablePrimary ,NO FALLBACK ,
   NO BEFORE JOURNAL,
     NO AFTER JOURNAL,
     CHECKSUM = DEFAULT,
     DEFAULT MERGEBLOCKRATIO
     (

Hi All,
 
Normally, we can find row_number based on the order of columns using ROW_NUMBER() function.
select row_number() over(order by col1) from tablename ;
Is there any way in Teradata to get the Row number based on the order/time of insertion rather than the order of columns contained.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I would like to know, in Teradata, does it allow single quotes for numeric datatype (int or decimal)?
I have tried TD using quotes. It works. but one of my friend is facing issue when using single quotes.
SQLs:
create table lavendar.alpha(eno integer,salary decimal(12,2));

I need to store the value in the DataParcel column(which is of VARBYTE datatype) in the first error table of FASTLOAD into a permanent teradata table but with a proper format(The ddl of this table will be exactly the same as the target table, except that all datatypes are varchar)
I know this as a potential solution/*From teradata manual*/:

I need to perfom the simple task of adding new data to a large existing table.  My source data is on Teradata and is in a table that looks exactly like my target table (field names, datatype, PI, ...) . For example, I need to add 10 million rows on to a table that already has 800 million rows.

Hi,

Hello,

Hi everyone! I am currently studying Teradata and currently working on this problem of mine. You see, i have this set of data on a flat file that needs to be loaded in a table based on a condition.

This is what my flat file looks like:

##Flatfile
SOR|03/17/2012|2 -- This is a header

I want to Update and Insert when a condition in the case was true. However, it seems that Teradata doesn't accept it. My question is, is there a way for that to happen?

Like

CASE WHEN SEL Table1.Column return TRUE

THEN UPDATE Table2 AND INSERT Table3

ELSE

INSERT Table2 AND INSERT Table3

END

Hi Guys,

Our portlet has to store a considerably large amount of data. Is there a way to "create" a custom table in the Postgres SQL DB for storing this Data. And afterwards be able to query this table and also do inserts and updates?

I have created a table with a column that is varchar(5). When I insert a string of 6 characters the string is truncated to 5 characters rather than throwing an exception. Is there a way to force a strict mode so this will result in an error?

Hi

I created a table with a single column of TIMESTAMP(0) WITH TIME ZONE. When I try to insert value with the following statement

INSERT INTO XOBTTEST (timestmp_with_zone) VALUES ('2010-10-20 14:23:00-05:00' (TIMESTAMP(0) WITH TIME ZONE,FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DDbHH:MI:SSZ');

I got this error:
3707: Syntax error, expected sothing like ')' or ',' between ")" and the "WITH" keyboard.

When I try the following statement:

INSERT INTO XOBTTEST (timestmp_with_zone) VALUES ('2010-10-20 14:23:00-05:00' (TIMESTAMP(0) ,FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DDbHH:MI:SSZ');

Hello,

I have created a new table with a CLOB field intended to store a deliminated character string, however a standard INSERT statement is only loading the first character of said string.

Any thoughts or guidance as to why this is happening and how to fix please?

All input gratefully received.

Thanks,
