old post :

I am new in teradata, i have found mload to upload big data, now i have question, is there option to use cmd ( win7 ) to export data from teradata to xxx.txt

--- sample
select a.data1,b.data2,a.data3 from room1.REPORT_DAILY a
inner join room1.andaikan_saja b
on a.likeme=b.data2
where revenue=30000
and content_id like '%super%'
and a.trx_date >= 01/12/2015
;

this is my mload up.txt

.LOGMECH LDAP;
.LOGON xx.xx.xx.xx/username,mypassword;
.LOGTABLE mydatabase.LOG_my_table;
SET QUERY_BAND = 'ApplicationName=TD-Subscriber-RechargeLoad; Version=01.00.00.00;' FOR SESSION;

.BEGIN IMPORT MLOAD
  TABLES mydatabase.my_table
  WORKTABLES mydatabase.WT_my_table
  ERRORTABLES mydatabase.ET_my_table mydatabase.UV_my_table;

.LAYOUT LAYOUT_DATA INDICATORS;
.FIELD number * VARCHAR(20);

.DML LABEL DML_INSERT;
INSERT INTO mydatabase.my_table
(               
number =:number
);

.IMPORT INFILE "D:\folderdata\data.txt"
  LAYOUT LAYOUT_DATA
  FORMAT VARTEXT
  APPLY DML_INSERT;

.END MLOAD;
.LOGOFF &SYSRC;

i need solution to export file to my laptop, just like my script that i put ---sample title .... i use that script from teradasql, and i am search for cmd script

Answer 1

Depending on the volume of data you wish to extract from Teradata you can use Teradata BTEQ or the Teradata Parallel Transport (TPT) utility with the EXPORT operator from the command line to extract the data.

The TPT utility is the eventual replacement for the legacy Teradata Load and Unload utilities (FastLoad, MultiLoad, FastExport, and TPump) and provides an easier mechanism to produce delimited flat files over FastExport. TPT is fairly flexible and effective for exporting large volumes of data to channel or network attached clients.

Teradata BTEQ can perform lightweight load and unload functions. The BTEQ manual is pretty good at providing you an overview of how to use the various commands to produce a semi-structured report or data extract. It doesn't have a simple command to produce a delimited flat file. If you review the manual's overview of the EXPORT command you should get a good feel for how BTEQ behaves when working with channel or network attached clients.

Answer 2

If it's just a few MB and an adhoc export you can use SQL Assistant: Set the delimiter in Tools-Options-Export/Import, maybe modify the settings in Tools-Options-Export and then click File-Export Results before submitting your Select. (Similar in TD Studio)

Otherwise the easiest way to extract data in a readable delimited format is TPT, either Export for large amounts of data (GBs) or SQL Selector (MBs). TPT is available for most Operating Systems including Windows.

There's a nice User Guide with lots of example scripts: Job Example 12: Extracting Rows and Sending Them in Delimited Format

In your case you'll define a generic template file like this:

DEFINE JOB EXPORT_DELIMITED_FILE
DESCRIPTION 'Export rows from a Teradata table to a delimited file'
(
  APPLY TO OPERATOR ($FILE_WRITER() ATTR (Format = 'DELIMITED'))
  SELECT * FROM OPERATOR ($SELECTOR ATTR (SelectStmt = @ExportSelectStmt)); 
);

Change $SELECTOR to $EXPORT for larger exports.

Then you just need a job variable file like this:

SourceTdpId         = 'your system'
,SourceUserName     = 'your user'
,SourceUserPassword = 'your password'
,FileWriterFileName = 'xxx.txt'
,ExportSelectStmt   = 'select a.data1,b.data2,a.data3 from room1.REPORT_DAILY a
inner join room1.andaikan_saja b
on a.likeme=b.data2
where revenue=30000
and content_id like ''%super%''
and a.trx_date >= DATE ''2015-12-01'' -- modified this to a valid date literal
;'

The only bad part is that you have to double any single quotes within your select, e.g. '%super%' -> ''%super%''.

Finally you run a cmd:

tbuild -f your_template_file -v your_job_var_file
