| 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,
