Teradata Physical Database Design

Duration: 4 days Description This course specializes in Teradata Physical Database Design. Students will be ready to get Teradata Certified for Teradata Physical Implementation. Users will leave with tremendous confidence and understanding of how Teradata works with data placement, primary indexes, secondary indexes, and the data dictionary. Students will see exactly how Teradata physically reads and writes data. Students learn Primary Index use, Secondary Index use, Locking Features, PE Internals, Explain language, and how to physically design the Teradata database for speed and efficiency. Topics include: Application Transaction Modeling (ATM). Logical and Physical Modeling Basics. Data placement, master index, cylinder index. Issues dealing with the Primary Index of tables. Setting up secondary indexes. Locking mechanics. Teradata fundamentals for managing the data. Course Number: ISI-TERA-06

Audience This course is intended for a mix of intermediate and advanced Teradata users. Prerequisites Familiarity with the Teradata system.

Course Agenda Teradata: Brilliant by Design The Teradata Parallel Architecture A Logical View of the Teradata Architecture Components of a Teradata System Teradata is made up of the following components: Teradata Spreads Data over Multiple Processors Teradata has Linear Scalability Parsing Engine (PE) Access Module Processor (AMP) The BYNET Teradatas Building Block Approach Teradata Performance The Divide and Conquer Theory Teradata Data Placement Let the System do the Hard Work! PERM and SPOOL Space Teradata Data Loads The Need for Speed Why Teradata is the Database of Choice for Warehousing Data Layout: AutoMagically Data Distribution Explained The Primary Index The Two Types of Primary Indexes Unique Primary Index (UPI) Non-Unique Primary Index How Teradata Turns the Primary Index Value into the Row Hash The Row Hash Value determines the Rows Destination The Row is Delivered to the Proper AMP The AMP will add a Uniqueness Value An Example of an UPI Table An Example of an NUPI Table How Teradata Retrieves Rows Row Distribution A Visual for Data Layout Data Layout Summary
