Connecting to Teradata

The provider wraps the official Teradata Database driver. You can connect to the CData ADO.NET Provider for Teradata using the same connection properties, and access the same functionality, as the underlying Teradata driver.

Required Properties

To connect to Teradata, set these properties:

• AuthScheme: Specify your Teradata server's required authentication mechanism: either TD2 (default) or LDAP.
• User: Teradata user username.
• Password: Teradata user password.
• DataSource: Specify the Teradata server name, DBC Name, or TDPID.
• Port: Specify the port the server is running on.
• Database: Specify the database name. If not specified, the provider connects to the default database.

For more information on available properties, see the Teradata .NET Data Provider documentation.
