Dear all,

I ve come into TD with some Oracle experience. In writing Oracle queries, we follow a general rule to select the least bulkiest table last in the SELECT statement. What is mean is If tabA and tabB are two tables having 1 and 10000 rows respectively, I would write a query like SELECT count(*) from tabB, tabA than SELECT count(*) from tabA, tabB coz oracle works from 'right to left' . Same for the case of joins where we are advised to put the most restrictive join at the end.

Any such rules necessary for teradata? If there are a series of equi-joins spawning a few intermediate spool files in the process, how do I arrange the join sequence such that the query would consume the least amount of resources ?

Many regards
