Licensing options for this format begin with FME Professional Edition.
The Teradata Spatial reader and writer plug-in enables FME to read and write both attribute and geometric data stored in a Teradata database.
Databases of version V2R6.1 and above can be spatially extended using the Teradata Geospatial Extension to incorporate the Open GIS Consortium Simple Features Specification for simple geometric features.
Overview
The Teradata Spatial reader and writer are specifically designed to perform high speed transactions against database tables containing both geometric and non-geometric column. The reader and writer communicate directly with the Teradata Parallel Transported API interface and use the FastExport and FastUpdate operators for maximum throughput.
Please note that the reader and writer have the same limitations that the FastExport and FastUpdate protocols. Consult Teradata documentation for more information on these limitations.
This chapter assumes familiarity with Teradata, the column types, OGC geometry types and connection parameters.
