Teradata Basics
Course Description
Overview
This Teradata Basics course is designed to illustrate the fundamentals of the Teradata database. Students learn about parallel processing, AMPs and PEPs, how Teradata lays out data evenly, Primary Index use, hashing, Perm and Spool Space, and protection features.This course can be taught using Version 12, 13, or 14. Please inform your sales representative of which version you are currently using.
