Chapter 3: Teradata TPump Commands
EXECUTE
EXECUTE
Purpose
Teradata TPump supports the Teradata SQL EXECUTE statement, which specifies a usercreated
(predefined) macro for execution. The EXECUTE statement specifies the type of DML
statement (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or UPSERT) to be handled by the macro.
The macro named in this EXECUTE statement must reside in Teradata Database before the
import task starts. Only one DML statement (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or UPSERT) can
be specified in a Teradata TPump predefined macro.
Caution:
The SQL EXECUTE command must be used between the BEGIN LOAD command and the
END LOAD command.
