    Fload uses 2 error tables

    Error table 1: where format of data is not correct.

    Error table 2: violations of UPI

    Mload also uses 2 error tables (ET and UV), 1 work table and 1 log table

    1. ET TABLE - Data error

    MultiLoad uses the ET table, also called the Acquisition Phase error table, to store data errors found during the acquisition phase of a MultiLoad import task.

    2. UV TABLE - UPI violations

    MultiLoad uses the UV table, also called the Application Phase error table, to store data errors found during the application phase of a MultiLoad import or delete task

    3. WORK TABLE - WT

    Mload loads the selected records in the work table

    4. LOG TABLE

    A log table maintains record of all checkpoints related to the load job, it is essential/madatory to specify a log table in mload job. This table will be useful in case you have a job abort or restart due to any reason.

    Performance tuning:
    1. Look at the plan generated by PE.
    2. Check for the recommendations of stats to be collected for the columns.
    3. Try to avoid product joins and unnecessary joins.

    Basic Teradata Query Language or Batch Teradata Query Language is one of the effective utility in teradata. As using BTEQ we can write SQL statements in Interactive as well as Batch modes. using Bteq you can also Import Export data. Although for Importing and Exporting you have other utilities.
