 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background
Following the technology progress in the areas of processors, computer memory, computer
storage and computer networks, the sizes, capabilities, and performance of databases and their
respective DBMSs have grown in orders of magnitude. The development of database technology
can be divided into three eras based on data model or structure: navigational, SQL/relational, and
post-relational. The relational model, first proposed in 1970 by Edgar F. Codd, departed from
this tradition by insisting that applications should search for data by content, rather than by
following links. The relational model employs sets of ledger-style tables, each used for a
different type of entity. Only in the mid-1980s did computing hardware become powerful enough
to allow the wide deployment of relational systems (DBMSs plus applications).
One kind of DBMS is Teradata's product which can be used for business analysis. Data
warehouses can track company data, such as sales, customer preferences, product placement,
etc.Teradata has a supplier diversity program that designates a minimum of 3 to 5% of spending
on minority, women, veteran, or small business vendors. In 2013, the Ethisphere Institute named
Teradata as one of the "World's Most Ethical Companies".

 CHAPTER II
BASIC THEORY

A database is an organized collection of data. It is the collection of schemes, tables,

queries, reports, views and other objects. The data is typically organized to model aspects of
reality in a way that supports processes requiring information, such as modelling the availability
of rooms in hotels in a way that supports finding a hotel with vacancies.
A database management system (DBMS) is a computer software application that interacts
with the user, other applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze data. A general-
purpose DBMS is designed to allow the definition, creation, querying, update, and administration
of databases. Database management systems are often classified according to the database model
that they support; the most popular database systems since the 1980s have all supported the
relational model as represented by the SQL language. Sometimes a DBMS is loosely referred to
as a 'database'.

2.1 Relational Database

Figure 2.1Relational Database

 Databases have been a staple of business computing from the very beginning of the
digital era. In fact, the relational database was born in 1970 when E.F. Codd, a researcher at
IBM, wrote a paper outlining the process. Since then, relational databases have grown in
popularity to become the standard. With a relational database, you can quickly compare
information because of the arrangement of data in columns. The relational database model takes
advantage of this uniformity to build completely new tables out of required information from
existing tables. In other words, it uses the relationship of similar data to increase the speed and
versatility of the database. Figure 2.1 is an example of a Relational Database consists of 3 tables
related to each other.
The "relational" part of the name comes into play because of mathematical relations. A
typical relational database has anywhere from 10 to more than 1,000 tables. Each table contains a
column or columns that other tables can key on to gather information from that table. By storing
this information in another table, the database can create a single small table with the locations
that can then be used for a variety of purposes by other tables in the database. A typical large
database, like the one a big Web site, such as Amazon would have, will contain hundreds or
thousands of tables like this all used together to quickly find the exact information needed at any
given time. Relational databases are created using a special computer language, structured query
language (SQL), which is the standard for database interoperability.

2.2 What is RDBMS?

RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management System. RDBMS data is structured in
database tables, fields and records. Each RDBMS table consists of database table rows. Each
database table row consists of one or more database tablefields. 
RDBMS store the data into collection of tables, which might be related by common fields
(database table columns). Illustration of RDBMS can be seen in Figure 2.2

viii
 Figure 2.2 Structure of RDBMS

RDBMS also provide relational operators to manipulate the data stored into the database tables.
Most RDBMS use SQL as database query language. RDBMS are a common choice for the
storage of information in new databases used for financial records, manufacturing and logistical
information, personnel data, and other applications since the 1980s. Relational databases have
often replaced legacy hierarchical databases and network databases because they are easier to
understand and use. However, relational databases have received unsuccessful challenge
attempts by object databasemanagement systems in the 1980s and 1990s (which were introduced
trying to address the so-called object-relational impedance mismatch between relational
databases and object-oriented application programs) and also by XML database management
systems in the 1990s. Despite such attempts, RDBMSs keep most of the market share, which has
also grown over the years.

 CHAPTER III
PROBLEM ANALYSIS

Teradata is a massively parallel processing system running a shared-nothing architecture.

Its technology consists of hardware, software, database, and consulting. The system moves data
to a data warehouse where it can be recalled and analyzed. The systems can be used as back-up
for one another during downtime, and in normal operation balance the work load across
themselves.
In 2009, Forrester Research issued a report, "The Forrester Wave: Enterprise Data
Warehouse Platform," by James Kobielus, rating Teradata the industry's number one enterprise
data warehouse platform in the "Current Offering" category. Marketing research company
Gartner Group placed Teradata in the "leaders quadrant" in its 2009, 2010, and 2012 reports,
"Magic Quadrant for Data Warehouse Database Management Systems".

3.1 What is Teradata?

Figure 2.2 Logo of Teradata

(Ref: http://www.best-online-training.com)

Teradata may be a hot topic in the industry but it’s not a new concept. The Teradata
product is referred to as a "data warehouse system" and stores and manages data. The data
warehouses use a "shared nothing" architecture, which means that each server node has its own
memory and processing power. Adding more servers and nodes increases the amount of data that
can be stored. The database software sits on top of the servers and spreads the workload among
them. Teradata sells applications and software to process different types of data.
Teradata is the most popular data warehouse DBMS in the DB-Engines database ranking.
In 2010, Teradata was listed in Fortune’s annual list of Most Admired Companies. Teradata

x
Active Enterprise Data Warehouse is the platform that runs the Teradata Database, with added
data management tools and data mining software.
The data warehouse differentiates between “hot and cold” data – meaning that the
warehouse puts data that is not often used in a slower storage section. As of October 2010,
Teradata uses Xeon 5600 processors for the server nodes.Teradata Database 13.10 was
announced in 2010 as the company’s database software for storing and processing data.Teradata
Database 14 was sold as the upgrade to 13.10 in 2011 and runs multiple data warehouse
workloads at the same time. It includes column-store analyses. Teradata Integrated Analytics is a
set of tools for data analysis that resides inside the data warehouse.
Teradata RDBMS is also a complete relational database management system. The system
is based onoff-the-shelf Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) technology combined with a
communicationnetwork connecting the SMP systems to form a Massively Parallel Processing
(MMP) system. BYNET is a hardware inter-processor network to link SMP nodes. All
processors in a same SMPnode are connected by a virtual BYNET. We use the following figure
to explain how each component in this DBMS works together.

3.4Architecture of Teradata

SMP and MPP Platforms

The hardware that supports Teradata Database software is based on Symmetric
Multiprocessing (SMP) technology. The hardware can be combined with a communications
network that connects the SMP systems to form Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) systems.
The components of the SMP and MPP hardware platforms include the following.

Table 3.2 Teradata Architecture (Ref: http://www.info.teradata.com)

 
Component Description Function

A hardware assembly containing several,

tightly coupled, central processing units (CPUs)

Virtual Processors
The versatility of Teradata Database is based on virtual processors (vprocs) that eliminate
dependency on specialized physical processors. Vprocs are a set of software processes that run
on a node under Teradata Parallel Database Extensions (PDE) within the multitasking
environment of the operating system.The following table contains information about the different
types of vprocs.

Table 3.3 Teradata Virtual Processor (Ref:http://www.info.teradata.com)

Vproc Type Description

AMP Access module processors perform database functions, such as executing database
queries. Each AMP owns a portion of the overall database storage.

GTW Gateway vprocs provide a socket interface to Teradata Database.

Node The node vproc handles PDE and operating system functions not directly related to
AMP and PE work. Node vprocs cannot be externally manipulated, and do not appear in
the output of the Vproc Manager utility.

PE Parsing engines perform session control, query parsing, security validation, query
optimization, and query dispatch.

RSG Relay Services Gateway provides a socket interface for the replication agent, and for
relaying dictionary changes to the Teradata Meta Data Services utility.

TVS Manages Teradata Database storage. AMPs acquire their portions of database storage
through the TVS vproc.
