giraffez 2.1.0

a user-friendly and fast Teradata client for Python

Giraffez is a client library for Teradata, made to be fast and user-friendly. It shares many features with the official Teradata tools, but makes them available in an easy-to-use command-line interface and Python API.

Features

• Command-line tool

• Python API - expressive, powerful, and great for working with other packages (e.g. pandas)

• Execute SQL statements using the Teradata CLIv2 library – performing ad hoc queries and commands

• Insert into existing Teradata tables using the CLIv2 drivers

• Archive Teradata tables to save space. These can easily be transformed to flatfiles or loaded back into Teradata

• BulkExport from Teradata to a flatfile or archival format, retaining data type information

• BulkLoad into existing Teradata tables using the Teradata PT Update (MLOAD)

• Config - manage connection information and credentials securely using the giraffez config and giraffez secret commands

• Interactive shell for executing Teradata queries – much like BTEQ, but with a friendly interface

• Run job files in YAML format
