By attending Teradata Designer workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Explain the rules of data warehousing
  • Describe the application development life cycle
  • Model data
  • Define denormalization
  • Design Teradata databases

  • Teradata Users
  • IT Professionals

COURSE AGENDA

1

The Rules of Data Warehousing

  • Teradata facts
  • Teradata: brilliant by design
  • The Teradata parallel architecture
  • A logical view of the Teradata architecture
  • The Parsing Engine (PE)
  • The Access Module Processors (AMPs)
  • The BYNET
  • A visual for data layout
  • Teradata is a shared nothing architecture
  • Teradata has linear scalability
  • How Teradata handles data access
  • Teradata cabinets, nodes, Vprocs and disks
2

Data Distribution Explained

  • Rows and columns
  • The primary index
  • The two types of primary indexes
  • Unique Primary Index (UPI)
  • Non-Unique Primary Index
  • Turning 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
  • Teradata accesses data in three ways
  • Data layout summary
3

V2R5 Partition Primary Indexes

  • V2R4 example
  • V2R5 partitioning
  • Partitioning doesn’t have to be part of the primary Index
  • Partition elimination can avoid full table scans
  • The bad news about partitioning on a column that is not part of the primary index
  • Two ways to handle partitioning on a column that is not part of the primary index
  • Partitioning with CASE_N
  • Partitioning with RANGE_N
  • NO CASE, NO RANGE, or UNKNOWN
  • Partitioning and joins
4

Teradata Space

  • How permanent space is calculated
  • How permanent space is given
  • The Teradata hierarchy
  • How spool space is calculated
  • PERM, SPOOL and TEMP space
  • Spool space controls system time
  • Spool reserve
5

Modeling the Data

  • The application development life cycle
  • Asking the right questions
  • Logical data model
  • Primary keys
  • Foreign keys
  • Normalization
  • A normalized data warehouse
  • Dimensional modeling
  • Data marts
  • Update applications
6

Extended Logical Data Model

  • The end goal of the ELDM is to build table templates
  • Column ACCESS in the WHERE clause
  • Data demographics
  • Distinct values
  • Typical rows per value
  • Maximum rows NULL
  • Change rating
  • Extended logical data model template
7

Denormalization

  • Derived data

  • Prototyping indexes with EXPLAIN
  • Chart for primary and secondary access
9

Join Strategies

  • A join in simple terms
  • The key things to know about Teradata and joins
  • Merge join strategies
  • Joins need the joined rows to be on the same AMP
  • Another great join picture
