Course Description
Teradata supports the use of SQLs data definition language to create and manage objects within the database. It also supports the use of SQLs data manipulation language to query and perform operations on the data. Teradata supports the use of temporal tables as well and contains temporal forms of DDL and DML for use within a temporal database. This course will demonstrate and describe performing DDL and DML operations within a database and temporal database.
