Chapter 3: Teradata TPump Commands
DATABASE
DATABASE
Purpose
Teradata TPump supports the Teradata SQL DATABASE statement, which changes the default
database qualification for all unqualified DML and DDL statements.
Syntax
DATABASE database
;

where
Syntax Element
database
Description
New qualified default database for the error table
Changes the database from the one originally specified by the BEGIN
LOAD command.
Usage Notes
The DATABASE command only affects native SQL commands. In particular, it has no effect
on the BEGIN LOAD command.
The DATABASE command does affect INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and EXEC statements
issued as part of a load. (When Teradata TPump logs on sessions, it immediately issues a
DATABASE statement on each session.)
The DATABASE command does not affect the placement of Teradata TPump macros.
