Hi Everyone,
                    I am new to Teradata forum. Could anyone in forum please help out in deriving an analytical function.
Trying to create a new date column using windowing function which display date of child (SEQ_ORDER (5)) as is and move dates of its first parent (SEQ_ORDER (4)) to all the parent level i.e 3,2,1
 

I have one doubt.
Suppose my table contains 1000 records, I need to write a sql statement to group table in equal number of records.

I have a parameter in a report (Report Builder 3.0) called REPORT_FILTER.  This parameter has 4 available values.  The labels are (1) Home Group, (2) Home Branch, (3) Other Group, and (4) Other Branch.  The corresponding values are 1, 2, 3, and 4.

I'm struggling with a query to fetch entire database hierarchy and calculating path of each node from root. I need to create same directory structure on the file system whereby each directory represents a database.
 
Example
 
RootDB
--Level1-Child1
----Level2-Child1
----Level2-Child2

I am trying to use XMLAGG to transpose the row-wise data to comma separated value in Teradata 15. Its working fine with English (LATIN character set) characters. But while I am using other characters (Unicode character set) I am getting 'string contains untranslatable character' error.
Please suggest how to resolve the issue.

I have a query with a UNION.  I was trying to combine 2 records into 1.  The top half gets records from 1 set of tables and the bottom half gets records from a differen set of tables.  Both halves use fields from 2 derived queries.  The results currently look like this:

My Undesrstanding was this 

• WHERE CLAUSE on an INNER JOIN CONDITION Vs  INNER JOIN  WITH AND <condition> will be the same 

e.g. A Inner Join B on A.x=B.y WHERE B.z between Date1 and Date2 
and 
e.g. A Inner Join B on A.x=B.y AND B.z between Date1 and Date2 

The following SQL statement using this syntax failed after query execution:

There is  "poetic query" that takes forever to run
Kind of looks like this
sel
col1.tb1,
col2,tb1,
(case <condition involving tb1 and tb2>) as "Dcol1",
Sum ( col1.tb3),
sum (col2.tb3 ),
sum (col3.tb3)
etc
from
tb1 left outer join tb2 <condition> LOJ tb3 <conditions>

Hi,
 
I am new to TD SQL environment and learning the differences as I code.
I wanted to know if there are any resources available (other than TD DevEx) which explain the differences within TD SQL and MS SQL e.g cannot use variables except in SProc, temp tables vs volatile tables etc ?
 
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
What is the best thread for SAS programmers using Teradata SQL?  Especially since TD SQL and Proc SQL use different SQL languages and we have to remember which hat to put on mid paragraph!  So I think we should just have a hat with two rims we can turn from side to side.  All we need now is gang signs.

Oracle DB offers a so-called multi-table insert statement which is very handy for ELT processing. It offers the possibility to insert multiple rows into one or more target tables from one source row. Here is a short example that should demonstrate what it does:
