Course Description:
Performance Optimization and Utilities in Teradata is a comprehensive course aimed at enhancing participants' skills in optimizing database performance and utilizing Teradata utilities effectively. The course is divided into three modules, covering advanced database optimization techniques, Teradata utilities overview, and implementing Teradata solutions. Module 1: Database Optimization Techniques Module 1 focuses on advanced database objects and performance optimization strategies. In Lesson 1, "Advanced Database Objects and Performance Optimization," participants will explore views, macros, stored procedures, and temporary tables, learning how to leverage these objects for performance enhancement. Lesson 2, "Performance Tuning," dives into techniques such as collecting statistics, analyzing explain plans, troubleshooting spool space issues, and efficiently managing temporary tables. Module 2: Teradata Utilities Overview Module 2 provides an overview of essential Teradata utilities for data loading, extraction, and manipulation. In Lesson 1, "Teradata Utilities - FastLoad, MultiLoad, BTEQ," participants will learn how to use FastLoad for fast data loading, restart failed FastLoad jobs, utilize MultiLoad for bulk data operations, and leverage BTEQ for data import/export tasks. Lesson 2, "Teradata Utilities - FastExport, TPT," covers FastExport for efficient data export, Teradata Parallel Transporter (TPT) for enhanced data loading and unloading, and TPT Selector for data manipulation tasks. Module 3: Implementing Teradata Solutions Module 3 focuses on designing, implementing, and future-proofing Teradata solutions. In Lesson 1, "Designing and Implementing Teradata Solutions," participants will explore solution design best practices, implementation strategies, troubleshooting common issues, and real-world implementation examples. Lesson 2, "Future Trends in Teradata Technology," examines the evolution of Teradata, emerging technologies and trends, integration with other technologies, and strategies for preparing for future Teradata developments. Learning Objectives: 1. Define: Identify and explain advanced database objects and optimization techniques in Teradata. 2.
