Application developers can write functions and scripts in almost any programming language, install and execute them inside Teradata Database, and run them in parallel for efficient analysis of large data sets.
Customers can:
- Write scripts in languages such as Ruby, Python, and Perl
- Install the scripts, database server configuration files, or flat files using a Teradata-supplied external stored procedure
- Use the SCRIPT table operator to execute the scripts on all AMPs
- Use Teradata Database rows as input to the scripts
External stored procedures INSTALL_FILE, REPLACE_FILE, REMOVE_FILE, and REDISTRIBUTE_FILE manage the user-installed files on all nodes.
