4 Overview This chapter describes the most commonly used Teradata PT function: loading flat file data into a Teradata table. The Teradata PT script you will run loads into the empty target table, called TARGET_EMP_TABLE, 10 rows of employee data from a flat file called flatfile1.txt whose data is delimited using the pipe ( ) text delimiter. Here are the contents of flatfile1.txt.
