Teradata FastLoad
Posted: Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:16 pm
I had a job that inserted 110 million rows into a Teradata table, which took two days to complete.
It was suggested that Teradata FastLoad would be faster, so I changed the Teradata Connector access method from Immediate to Bulk, and the bulk method to Load. The Teradata Connectivity Guide suggests that this combination will cause FastLoad to be used.
I also configured the err1, err2, log and work tables as required.
The job runs at exactly the same rate (rows/second) as previously. It's as if DataStage is using immediate mode to load the work table, and will start the FastLoad after that.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to load an empty Teradata table faster?
(The Teradata instance is on a separate AIX machine from the DataStage engine. Teradata version is 14.xx)
Thank you for your time.
