    This document provides an overview of the different loaders that can be used to load data into a Teradata database using Informatica: TPUMP, MLOAD, and FLOAD. It describes the key features of each loader, including their capabilities for DDL/DML support, locks used, data volumes handled, ability to access tables during loading, support for multiple tables/files/sessions, and more. TPUMP provides real-time data refresh for large tables, MLOAD is best for large incremental loads, and FLOAD rapidly loads large volumes of data into empty tables with high resource utilization.

    USING INFORMATICA WITH TERADATA UTILITIES I

    (Basic overview of the Loaders)

    Informatica has the ability to load data into Teradata database either
    by using ODBC connections or by using Teradata loader scripts.
    Power center supports 4 different loaders: TPUMP, MLOAD, FAST
    LOAD and TPT (Teradata parallel transporter. Formerly known as
    Teradata Warehouse builder (TWB))
    In this knowledge byte series the first 3 loaders (TPUMP, MLOAD &
    FLOAD) would be covered.
    Why Use Teradata loaders in Informatica:
    The advantages of using Teradata Load utilities are:
    (1)
    Increased data volume: This is the primary reason for
    choosing Teradata loaders to ODBC connections.
    The Teradata tools load massive volumes of data in short amount
    of time.
    (2)
    Restartability: The load jobs can be automatically
    resumed from the last checkpoint if the job fails or has been
    interrupted for some reason.
    (3)
    Direct Loading: Teradata tools load the data directly from
    the source without the need for intermediate files or manual
    data conversions.
    (4)
    Automatic Data allocation: There is an automatic data
    distribution across the nodes (A node is the basic building block
    of a Teradata Database system, and contains a large number of
    hardware and software components) without the need for any
    manual intervention.
    (5)
    Scalability: Teradata tools are completely scalable. They
    make use of multiple sessions to maximize the throughput. Data
    loading with the use of parallel loading utilities (i.e use of
    concurrent loaders) is possible.

    (6)
    Seamless data movement: Teradata tools run on a
    variety of different platforms such as UNIX MP-RAS, Microsoft
    Windows, sun solaris SPARC, Red Hat Linux etc..
    (7)
    Data Access: Teradata load utilities support relational and
    non- relational databases such as Oracle, SQL server, DB2
    mainframe systems, flat files, OLE DB providers, Websphere MQ
    etc..
    (8)
    Flexibility: Teradata tools provide flexibility to load data
    either in batch mode or continuously throughout the day.
