Teradata Physical Database Design
This course is a Customized Course for Wells Fargo to teach how to defines the processes and
procedures to follow when designing a database for implementation on a Teradata system. It
explains how to transform a logical data model into an extended data model. The focus of this
course is on the C!"T! T"#$! statement% including all aspects of table design. It co&ers Teradata
data distribution% access% and use of deri&ed data. 'imilarities between (oin and aggregation
processing% and the implementation of eferential Integrity are also discussed. "lso co&ered in the
course are the steps to optimize space management. ')$ *ueries
