Book Description

This book will take you through Viewpoint, TASM, and actually setting up workloads. They are some of the most difficult to understand of the Teradata technologies but also the most important. It is a step by step guide that will make these very challenging subjects easy to master. The step by step process, similar to a cookbook, ensures that readers will not be confused. You will see material that you thought was impossible to learn, and you will master it.
