Teradata Architecture

By
We have many relational databases available in market, teradata is one such RDBMS it is usually preferred when we are dealing data with tera bytes in size and when we need a very fast quick response for retrieval data.

Teradata main advantage is its parallelism architecture and utilities.Lets get to know more about it in a deeper way



we have Parsing engine which has 4 components
a)Session control- It checks for user/login credentials before processing the query
b)Parser-It checks for the SQL syntax and user rights to access various database objects referred in the SQL query submitted by user
c)Optimizer-It generates the query execution plan
d)Dispatcher-It passes execution plan to bynet and receives all the responses and sends back to user

Next we have Bynet it is the communication layer between PE (parsing engine) and AMP's ( access module processors).There are two bynets available Bynet-0 and Bynet-1 which help in continuous communication between AMP's and PE

The final and the most important component is AMP. It is considered as heart of teradata. AMP's are the one which do retrieval and processing the data. Each AMP is connected to its virtual disk where data is stored.They work on their vdisks and do not have to access to other amps vdisks
More the number of AMP's the better will be performance

Hope this article helps you in understanding teradata architecture in the coming posts we will see about teradata utilities

Comparing Objects in Informatica

By
We might face a scenario where there may be difference between PRODUCTION v/s SIT version of code or any environment or between different folders in same environment. In here we go for comparison of objects we can compare between mappings,sessions,workflows In Designer it would be present under "Mappings" tab we can find "Compare" option. In workflow manger under "Tasks & Workfows" tab we can find "Compare" option for tasks and workflows comparison respectively. However the easiest and probably the best practice would be by doing using Repository Manager.In Repository Manager under "Edit" tab we can find "Compare" option. The advantage of using Repository manager it compares all the objects at one go i.e. workflow,session and mapping. Hence reducing the effort of individually checking the mapping and session separately. Once we select the folder and corresponding workflow we Can click compare for checking out ...

Types of Joins in Oracle/Teradata

By Anonymous
In Data warehousing, irrespective of schema (snow flake schema or star schema) we are using, we should join dimension and fact tables to analyze the business. Below are the frequently used joins: Inner join Left outer Join Right outer Join Cross join Inner Join: Inner join will give you the matching rows from both the tables. If the join condition is not matching then zero records will return. We should use ON keyword to give join condition. Example: Table1: ID Name 1 Krishna 2 Anirudh 4 Ashok Table2: ID Location 1 Bangalore 3 Chennai 4 Chennai We can join above two tables using inner join based on key column ID. SELECT T1.ID, T1.Name, T2.Location FROM Table1 T1 INNER JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.ID = T2.ID     If we are using inner join, it will give us matching rows from both the table. Here in this example, we have 2 matching rows i.e. ID 1 and 4. Below will be the result set for the above exa...

Looping using Expression Transformation in Informatica

By
One of the most common used transformation in Informatica is Expression transformation. In Expression transformation we can perform various operations such as data conversions i.e to_date,to_char, string manipulation such as substr,instr etc. Now coming to one of the widely and prominent task which we perform using Expression transformation is looping a value. Expression transformation has three types of ports i.e. input,variable and output.Only output port values can be propagated to next transformations. So in order to pass values of input and variable ports to next level of transformation these must be assigned to output ports.The order of execution in Expression transformation is top to bottom and first input then variable and finally output ports are processed. let us consider the following scenario   The files should be generated with employee name as file name and that particular file should have the details of that respective employee only, if the employee has more t...
