Glossary<br />

extract:<br />

The process of copying a subset of data from a source to a target environment.<br />

exit routines: Specifies a predefined action to be performed whenever certain significant<br />

events occur during a utility job.<br />

F<br />

failure: Any condition that precludes complete processing of a <strong>Teradata</strong> SQL statement. Any<br />

failure will abort the current transaction.<br />

FastExport: <strong>Teradata</strong> FastExport utility. A program that quickly transfers large amounts of<br />

data from tables and views of <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base to a client application.<br />

FastLoad: <strong>Teradata</strong> FastLoad utility. A program that loads empty tables on <strong>Teradata</strong><br />

<strong>Data</strong>base with data from a network-attached or channel-attached client.<br />

field: The basic unit of information stored in <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base. A field is either null, or has<br />

a single numeric or string value. See also column, database, row, table.<br />

I<br />

import: The process of pulling system information into a program. To add system<br />

information from an external source to another system. The system receiving the data must<br />

support the internal format or structure of the data.<br />

INMOD Routine: User-written routines that can be used by load/export utilities to<br />

preprocess input records before they are sent to <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base. Routines can be written in<br />

C language (for network-attached platforms), orIBM C, (for channel-attached platforms). A<br />

routine can read and preprocess records from a file, generate data records, read data from<br />

other database systems, validate data records, and convert data record fields.<br />

instance: In object-oriented programming, the relationship between an object and its class.<br />

The object is an instance of the class.<br />

I/O:<br />

Input/output<br />

J<br />

JCL: Job Control Language. A language for describing jobs (units of work) to the OS/390, z/<br />

OS, and VSE operating systems, which run on IBM's OS/390 and z800/900 large server<br />

(mainframe) computers. These operating systems allocate time and space resources among<br />

the total number of active jobs. Jobs in turn break down into job steps, which are the<br />

statements required to run a particular program. Jobs are background (sometimes called<br />

batch) units of work that run without requiring user interaction (for example, print jobs). In<br />

addition, the operating system manages interactive (foreground) user requests that initiate<br />

units of work. In general, foreground work is given priority over background work.<br />

job script: A set of commands and <strong>Teradata</strong> SQL statements that can initiate an operation<br />

that inserts new rows, updates existing rows, and deletes rows in specified target tables and<br />

views in <strong>Teradata</strong> <strong>Data</strong>base.<br />
