A Collection of assorted Teradata Tools
Project description
tdtools is a collection of tools and utilities I developed for my personal use. I am making these tools open-source in the hope that someone else may find them useful as well.
NOTE: These tools are not endorsed by Teradata Inc.
Requirements
Since I always try to use latest Python, you may find that some of the features require pretty recent version of Python. As of this writing, my installation consists of Python 3.5. If there is a strong interest in supporting earlier version of Python that requires me making minimal changes, I’ll consider supporting earlier Python versions. However, I do suggest using the latest version of Python.
There is a dependency on teradata python package. However, it’ll be downloaded automatically if you install using standard python installer pip.
Installation
Use Python’s standard pip utility to install tdtools. Although tdtools doesn’t have too many dependecies, you may choose to install in an virtualenv.:
$ pip install tdtools
Configuration
No configuration is required except setting up the needed ODBC connections. All scripts that are part of tdtools accept arbitrary ODBC connection strings using --tdconn parameter.
If more flexibility is needed, for example, to use Teradata REST APIs, it can be done by providing sqlcsr_site.py in your PYTHONPATH. Have a look at sqlcsr.py module to get an idea about what can be overriden in sqlcsr_site.py.
Tools
All tools are command-line utilities that are automatically installed when tdtools is installed using pip. What follows is a brief description of each tool. Each tool support --help or -h command-line option that shows detailed description of options supported.
dbhr: Displays Teradata database hierarchy.
vwref: Display (or save) view hierarchy.
All show* utilities generate DDLs for different types of Teradata objects.
showdb: Teradata database or user
showgrant: Teradata grants to user/role
showprof: Teradata profile
showrole: Teradata role
showtvm: Wrapper around Teradata SHOW <object> command
showzone: Teradata zone
Support:
