    insert / select not getting all the rows

    I'm hoping someone more familiar with ORACLE than I am (noob) can tell me what might be going wrong here. The setup: I'm trying to bring data from a TERADATA system to an ORACLE system via SQL Server's DTS data pump scripts. There are 8 tables that I'm loading on the ORACLE system. There are 8...

    Help moving forward with demo please

    As a matter of fact, I can login using BTEQ/BTEQWin. Can't get in using ODBC connect and either QMan or WinDDI. I have 'do not try to resolve IP address' checked in the ODBC configuration for dbc and for demo1099. IP address is 127.0.0.1 (localhost) The error I get when trying to connect...

    Help moving forward with demo please

    Thanks for the help on the previous thread about getting the demo working on WindowsXP. I took the advice after a de-install and cleaner install. I'm able to get the database working, but cannot get Qman or WinDDI to connect. Here is what I have accomplished so far... Start Teradata 'net...

    Anyone know how to get the demo working??

    Here's a new error message - I get this after net start recond, which starts the initiator successfully, 0 WSA E Unknown socket error. I got this from QMan Oh well, back to the drawing board

    Anyone know how to get the demo working??

    Yes - I did all the things in the instructions, including copying PDELIB.DLL into tdat\Lpde\bin\pdelib.dll - effectively overwriting the file.

    Anyone know how to get the demo working??

    Hello all - I have the 4.1 demo cd. I want to install it on a laptop running WindowsXP Pro, to use in teaching, etc. I followed the FAQ directions from NCR's website for installing this demo on this type of machine. The installation went fine - no errors reported at all. However, the...

    SQL query optimization

    As you can deduce from the responses, depending on your table structure (specifically the indices on the tables and the implicit relations between the tables) and you query, the optimizer develops the most efficient plan. If you structure the tables properly and the relationship properly the...

    Specify default values for NULL values in target fields..

    To amplify on COALESCE - Where I'm currently contracting the customer has multiple strings from various sources that represent NULLs of different data types. We can get NULLs, or strings for VARCHAR fields for example. The direct example that answers your question would be COALESCE(column...

    11001 HOST NOT FOUND ERROR

    Are you certain that your hosts file is properly configured? It sounds to me like the error message is pointing you to the hosts file to resolve the problem. I won't ask you to post the IP address and/or your hosts file for obvious reasons though ;-) Regards Randy Volters Certified Teradata...

    query teradata and oracle DB with queryman at the same time

    I'm sure (almost) some QMan developer will come along behind me and negate what I'm going to say here... Answer is 'no'. Reason. You connect to one machine (data source) at a time with QMan. I cannot even make simultaneous connections to 2 Teradata machines with QMan, let alone an ORACLE...

    Teradata slows down at end of load ??!!

    Thanks, that was not the problem. . . We determined that the problem was the indexing strategy. Knew it was dicey, did the best we could, that wasn't good enough apparently.

    Teradata slows down at end of load ??!!

    We are restating a moderately large table (250 M rows). Plan has been optimized. Insert/Selecting into empty table, matching index(es). We were loading about 10M rows every 5 minutes up to the last 45M rows, then the system started slowing down remarkably. Last count showed only 2M rows loaded...

    Teradata Demo On XP / W2K Service pack 3

    Yes, I am running the client software on the same machine (laptop) as the database. Yes, I absolutely agree with you that the documentation is poor. (Pretty much the standard with vendors these days ) Thanks for these instructions, much clearer. I will give this a try tonight, let you know...
