Data sources:

Connection string

A standard Teradata.Client.Provider (.NET Data Provider for Teradata) connection string — Key=Value pairs separated by semicolons. The keys you will use most:

Key Meaning
Data Source Server name or address
User Id, Password Credentials
Database Default database for unqualified names
Connection Timeout Seconds to wait for the connection to open

The full list is in the ConnectionString property reference of the driver.

A password, or the whole string, can come from an environment variable — %NAME% is replaced with the value of NAME; see How every provider is used.

Settings

None beyond Connection string.

Query

One SQL statement in Teradata’s dialect that returns a result set — a SELECT.

Prerequisites

None. The driver ships with CAT. Windows; on Linux it has no extra dependencies and is expected to work, but it has not been tested there.

Serving test and data source definitions

Teradata@1 can also serve lists of definitions: any statement that returns the columns of a test, data source or query definition works. Ready-made table scripts are in Store definitions in a database.
