Subj:   Re: ET in Teradata DELETE MLOAD
 
From:   Michael Larkins

  While defining DELETE MLOAD, we define WT and ET. In which situation does a row/rows go to an ET table while performing MLOAD DELETE?  


As mentioned in a previous reply without a follow-thru, data being read by MLOAD that is bad (data type, length, etc) go into the Error Table. Since you are probably not reading any data for a DELETE, nothing would go into the as you call it, ET vs End Transaction command of ET.

However, let's say you wanted to read a date that would be substituted into the DELETE instead of changing the script each time you ran it because of a new date being used. If you defined it as a date field but used a character date format (people readable) kaboom - right into the ET it would go.


Hope this helps,
