The Teradata Database : Introduction and SQL

The first book introduces the Teradata Database, and describes how a massively parallel architecture is used to efficiently store, retrieve and process the huge volumes of data needed to drive many of the world's largest business enterprises. It is presented in a manner likely to appeal to technical and non--technical readers alike. As the first in a series of "How to" books, it touches on a number of topics more fully detailed in the other books of the series, and should be required reading for anyone involved with the Teradata Database at any level

The Teradata Database - SQL is designed for anyone with a compelling need to discover how to extract useful intelligence from massive volumes of data. In particular, this book addresses the powerful Version 2, Release 2 software by which the Teradata Database deftly adopts ANSI-standard SQL, while still retaining its popular traditional values.
