Journals


Permanent Journal


The purpose of a permanent journal is to maintain a sequential history of all changes made to the rows of one or more tables. Permanent journals help protect user data when users commit, uncommit or abort transactions. A permanent journal can capture a snapshot of rows before a change, after a change, or both. You use permanent journaling to protect data. Unlike the automatic journal, the contents of a permanent journal remain until you drop them. When you create a new journal table, you can use several options to control the type of information to be captured. 


You create permanent journals when you create a user or database. To create permanent journals within an existing user or database, use the MODIFY statement. Users activate permanent journaling by including the JOURNAL option in the CREATE or MODIFY statements for users or databases. You must allocate sufficient permanent space to a database or user that will contain permanent journals. If a database or user that contains a permanent journal runs out of space, all table updates that write to that journal abort.


Use the MODIFY USER or MODIFY DATABASE statement to delete a permanent journal. Before you delete the journal, you must use the ALTER TABLE statement to stop the journaling being done to that journal.

BYNET

DEFINITION BYNET, acronym for "BanYan NETwork," is a folded banyan switching network built upon the capacity of the YNET. It acts as a distributed multi-fabric inter-connect to link PEs, AMPs and nodes on a Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) system. OVERVIEW Interconnect technology is important for parallel computing. The BYNET is Teradata's "system interconnect for high-speed, fault tolerant warehouse-optimized messaging between nodes." [11] As an indispensable part of the Teradata MPP system, it can be understood better with its predecessor "YNET" in the background. In 1982, the YNET interconnecting technology used on the DBC 1012 was patented for the parallelism. As a broadcast-based hardware solution, it linked all the IFPs, COPs, and AMPs together with circuit boards and cables in a dual bus architecture. Two costom-built busses operated concurrently within the interconnect framework: YNET A to connect the IFPs and COPs on one side, and YNET

SET VS MULTISET

Table Type Specifications of SET VS MULTISET There are two different table type philosophies so there are two different type tables. They are SET and MULTISET. It has been said, “A man with one watch knows the time, but a man with two watches is never sure”. When Teradata was originally designed it did not allow duplicate rows in a table. If any row in the same table had the same values in every column Teradata would throw one of the rows out. They believed a second row was a mistake. Why would someone need two watches and why would someone need two rows exactly the same? This is SET theory and a SET table kicks out duplicate rows. The ANSI standard believed in a different philosophy. If two rows are entered into a table that are exact duplicates then this is acceptable. If a person wants to wear two watches then they probably have a good reason. This is a MULTISET table and duplicate rows are allowed. If you do not specify SET or MULTISET, one is used as a default. Here is the issue:

Teradata Sql Assistant (TSA)

Definition: Teradata SQL Assistant (TSA), as part of Teradata Tools and Utilities (TTU), is an ODBC-based client utility used to access and manipulate data on ODBC-compliant database servers. It has two editions: 1) Teradata SQL Assistant for Microsoft Windows 2) Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition Teradata SQL Assistant is an information discovery tool designed for Windows XP and Windows 2000. Teradata SQL Assistant retrieves data from any ODBC-compliant database server. The data can then be manipulated and stored on the desktop PC. Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition is a web-based query tool that allows you to compose queries, submit them to the Teradata Database, and then view the results in a web browser. Overview : Teradata SQL Assistant for Microsoft Windows, originally called "Queryman" (before V. 6.0)or "QueryMan" (V. 6.0 and up), is also known as "SQLA" among programmers. It supports import / export tasks, but not the serious ones. Wit
