Teradata SQL Migration

DSC supports the migration from Teradata to GaussDB(DWS), including the migration of schemas, DML, queries, system functions, and type conversion.

Performing Teradata SQL Migration

Run the following commands to set the source database, input and output folder paths, log paths, and application language.

Linux:

./runDSC.sh 
--source-db Teradata
[--input-folder <input-script-path>] 
[--output-folder <output-script-path>]
[--log-folder <log-path>]
[--application-lang SQL]

Windows:

runDSC.bat 
--source-db Teradata
[--input-folder <input-script-path>] 
[--output-folder <output-script-path>]
[--log-folder <log-path>]
[--application-lang SQL]

For example:

Linux:

./runDSC.sh --source-db Teradata --target-db GaussDBA --input-folder /opt/DSC/DSC/input/teradata/ --output-folder /opt/DSC/DSC/output/ --log-folder /opt/DSC/DSC/log/ --application-lang SQL --conversion-type Bulk

Windows:

runDSC.bat --source-db Teradata --target-db GaussDBA --input-folder D:\test\conversion\input --output-folder D:\test\conversion\output --log-folder D:\test\conversion\log --application-lang SQL --conversion-type Bulk

During the execution of DSC, the migration summary, including the progress and completion status, is displayed on the console. Execution information and errors will be recorded in SQL Migration Logs.

For details about how to migrate Teradata SQL using DSC, see Executing DSC.

During the migration, the metadata of the input script can be called and is stored in the following files:

• Teradata migration

  1.teradata-set-table.properties

Clear the preceding files in the following scenarios:

• Migration of different files
• Migration of the same file with different parameter settings
