Hello Hillel,

I'm pretty sure that "reducing the amount of data movement required" refers to in-application data movement, not data movement across the network. No Teradata tools that I am aware of ever default to moving one row at a time across the network. Most applications default to moving an 8K buffer full of data at a time; the buffer size for any application can be increased to approximately 64K. (For example, I like to do this in my ODBC settings whenever I get a new installation).

So, calling GetRow probably incurs more in-application processing overhead than GetBuffer.
