Importing data

Let's get the ball rolling now.

We have had Teradata Studio Express and SQLA up and running for a while now. It is time to load data into the Teradata Database.

Now, there are many ways to do this, but, for simplicity, I will be importing data via Excel using the GUI option in Teradata Studio Express. You can copy the table data from Teradata to a data lab just by dragging the source table from the data lab view. The datalab copy wizard helps you through step by step.

A data lab is a separate dedicated work space, also known as a sandbox, sandpit or a test area.

You can get the dataset from various websites; there are tons of websites giving free datasets for analysis.
