getting count of data from n

different tables in teradata
I have n tables .
all tables need not to have
1.same number of columns
2.common columns.
Hello
I need to get the count of the data which is union of all the table's
data.
for example there are 3 tables a,b,c in which
table 'a' has 3 rows
table 'b' has 4 rows.
table 'c' has 5 rows.

then Result Should be Count of a + Count of b + Count of c

(i.e) 3+4+5 = 12
Ans :
I am doing this by taking 3 tables as example.
we can extend this for any number tables;
select * from a;
*** Query completed. 3 rows found. One column returned.
*** Total elapsed time was 1 second.
col1
----------3
1
2
select * from b;
*** Query completed. 4 rows found. 2 columns returned.
col1 col2
----------- ----------33
11
44
22
select * from c;
col1 col2 col3
----------- ----------- ----------555
333
111
444
222
SELECT

)t;
SUM(CountTables) FROM
COUNT(*) AS "CountTables" FROM a
COUNT(*) AS "CountTables" FROM b

*** Query completed. One row found. One column returned.

To get syntax for a command in

teradata
After logging on to teradata through bteq/Sql assistant
type the following command
exec dbc.getsyntax('sql','create table');

getsyntax is a macro that accepts 2 parameters.
First parameter is the type of utility that the command
belongs to.
valid values includes the following.
PMPC
BULKLOAD
DUMP
ARCHIVE
MULTILOAD
VERSION
SPL
FASTEXPORT
DATA_TYPE
HELP
SQL
FASTLOAD
TPCCONS
Second parameter the command name for which we need to find the
syntax.
examples includes:
exec dbc.getsyntax('FASTLOAD','DEFINE');
exec dbc.getsyntax('MULTILOAD','.IMPORT');
exec dbc.getsyntax('SQL','UPDATE');
Labels: getsyntax
Teradata - Permanent Space VS

Temporary Space VS Spool Space
Teradata space usage:
---------------------3 kinds of Space(s) in Teradata database:
1. Permanent Space
2. Spool Space
3. Temporary Space
Example: create user xyz perm = 1e4, spool = 1e3, temporary = 1e3,
password = xyz;
-> Permanent space is used for database object (tables, indexes
etc) creation and to hold their data.
10-03-2015
Page 4 of 8
-> Spool space is used to hold data for Intermediate Query results.
Holds only data.
Active upto the current session only.
Spool space is same as that of the root, unless specified.
-> Temporary Space is used to store Global temporary tables data.
Data is active upto the current session only.
5 kinds of Tables in Teradata database:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
SET Table
Multiset Table
Global Temporary Table (GTT)
Temporary Table
Volatile Temporary Table
Create tables go into data dictionary (Permament Space)

Tables
-----SET table:
----------
1. Table defintion : In data dictionary (permanent space)
2. Data storage : Permanent space
3. After Database restart: Both table and data survives
4. Example : Can directly create with 'create set table .'
5. Collect stats : Yes
Mutliset table:
--------------1. Table defintion : In data dictionary (permanent space)
2. Data storage : Permanent space
3. After Database restart: Both table and data survives
4. Example : Can directly create with 'create multiset
table .'
Global Temporary Table(GTT):
---------------------------1. Table defintion : In data dictionary (permanent space)
2. Data storage : Temporary space
3. After Database restart: Table definition survives
4. Example : Can directly create with 'create global
temporary table .'
Temporary Table:
---------------------------1. Table defintion : No table definition
2. Data storage : Spool
3. After Database restart: Nothing survives
4. Example : Indirectly ( derived tables )
5. Collect stats : No
Volatile Table:
---------------------------1. Table defintion : System Cache (primary memory - RAM)
2. Data storage : Spool
3. After Database restart: Nothing survives
4. Example : Indirectly ( derived tables )

Concept of Primary Key and Primary

Index in Teradata
In Teradata,
Primary key is used to uniquely identify each row in a table.PKs are
used in conjunction with foreign keys to define the important
column relationships in a database.
The concept of primary index is completely different from that of
Primary key.
Primary Index is used to distribute and locate rows of a table over
the AMPS .Choice of Primary Index will affect distribution ,access
and performance.
Oftentimes, but not always, the Primary Index and Primary Key are
the same.
Indexes (primary or secondary) may be used to enforce uniqueness
(as in a PK) or to improve access.
Accessing rows using primary index is always one AMP operation.
PK is a relational modeling convention where as PI is a teradata
convention.
Example to create a table with Unique Primary Index (UPI) :

CREATE TABLE MJ1.emp_data,FALLBACK,
NO BEFORE JOURNAL,
NO AFTER JOURNAL
(
employee_number INTEGER NOT NULL,
department_number SMALLINT,
job_code INTEGER COMPRESS ,
last_name CHAR(20) NOT CASESPECIFIC NOT NULL,
first_name VARCHAR(20) NOT CASESPECIFIC,
street_address VARCHAR(30) NOT CASESPECIFIC TITLE 'Address',
city CHAR(15) NOT CASESPECIFIC DEFAULT 'Boise'
COMPRESS 'Boise',
state CHAR(2) NOT CASESPECIFIC DEFAULT ' ',
birthdate DATE FORMAT 'mm/dd/yyyy',
salary_amount DECIMAL(10,2),
sex CHAR(1) UPPERCASE NOT CASESPECIFIC)
UNIQUE PRIMARY INDEX ( employee_number )
INDEX ( department_number );
Features of Primary Key :

if PI is not explicitly specified ,The database selects a Primary index
based on the following choices.
PI Specified
IF ..
THEN.
No
PK specified?
PK = UPI
10-03-2015
Page 6 of 8
Yes
UNIQUE specified?
1st UNIQUE = UPI
Neither specified?
1st column = NUPI
PK specified?
PK = USI
UNIQUE specified?
UNIQUE = USI
Here is the Comparison b/n Primary Key and Primary Index.

How do i update multiple rows of a

table in a single query??
select * from tab1;
col1 col2
10-03-2015
Page 7 of 8
----------- ---------101 vij

102 ven
UPDATE tab1
SET col2 = CASE WHEN col1 = 101 THEN 'XXXX'
WHEN col1 = 102 THEN 'YYYY'
END;
select * from tab1;
col1 col2
----------- ---------101 XXXX
102 YYYY
select TOP n row(s) from a table.

At the start the table contains the following rows.
select * from tab7 order by 1;
col1 col2
----------- ----------1
2
3
4
5
6
2
2
2
4
5
6
Problem:
To Get 2nd row from the bottom.
select * from tab7 QUALIFY RANK(col1) =2;
col1 col2
----------- ----------55
To Get Top 2nd row :

select * from tab7 QUALIFY RANK(col1 ASC) =2;
col1 col2
----------- ----------22
To Get Top 4 rows :

select * from dup_tab1 QUALIFY RANK(col1 ASC) <= 4;
To Get Top 4 rows randomly :
select TOP 10 * from dup_tab1;
