Glossary<br />

to interact with <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base. BTEQ commands control sessions, submit <strong>Teradata</strong> SQL<br />

requests, format results, and handle output data. BTEQ can also be used to verify the<br />

installation of <strong>Teradata</strong> client utilities.<br />

C<br />

CLIv2: Call-Level Interface Version 2. A collection of callable service routines that provide<br />

an interface to <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base. Specifically, CLI is the interface between the application<br />

program and the Micro <strong>Teradata</strong> Directory Program (for network-attached clients) or the<br />

Micro Operating System Interface (for network-attached clients). CLIv2 provides the<br />

application with a pointer to each of the parcels returned from <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base.<br />

channel-attached: Peripheral devices directly attached to a computer via a channel or bus.<br />

The term is used in contrast with devices that are reached remotely over a network<br />

character set: A grouping of alphanumeric and special characters used by computer systems<br />

to support different user languages and applications. Various character sets have been codified<br />

by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).<br />

checkpoint rate: The interval between checkpoint operations during the acquisition phase<br />

of an import task, expressed as either the number of rows read from the client system or sent<br />

to <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base, or as an amount of time, in minutes.<br />

client:<br />

A computer that can access <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base.<br />

cluster: Logical, table-level archive whereby only those rows residing on specific AMPs, and<br />

which are members of the specified cluster, are archived onto a single tape data set. This allows<br />

multiple jobs to be applied for backup of large tables, to reduce the backup window. This<br />

method is used to affect a parallel archive/restore operation via a “divide and conquer” backup<br />

strategy.<br />

column: In the relational model of <strong>Teradata</strong> SQL, databases consist of one or more tables. In<br />

turn, each table consists of fields, organized into one or more columns by zero or more rows.<br />

All of the fields of a given column share the same attributes.<br />

D<br />

DDL: <strong>Data</strong> Definition Language. In <strong>Teradata</strong> SQL, the statements and facilities that<br />

manipulate database structures (such as CREATE, MODIFY, DROP, GRANT, REVOKE, and<br />

GIVE) and the <strong>Data</strong> Dictionary information kept about those structures.<br />

<strong>Data</strong> Dictionary: In <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base, the information automatically maintained about all<br />

tables, views, macros, databases, and users known to <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base, including<br />

information about ownership, space allocation, accounting, and privilege relationships<br />

between those objects. <strong>Data</strong> Dictionary information is updated automatically during the<br />

processing of data definition statements, and is used by the parser to obtain information<br />

needed to process all <strong>Teradata</strong> SQL statements.<br />
