This section provides a walk-through for writing Teradata data access code in Python script.

For more information on the available data source entities and how to query them with SQL, see Data Model.

Connecting from Code

For information on how to deploy the connector and configure the connection to Teradata, see Package Installation and Establishing a Connection.

For information on how to connect with the teradata.connector module and its related classes, see Connecting.

Executing SQL

The connection's cursor object is used to directly execute SQL queries. For information on how to execute SELECT statements and process the returned result sets, see Querying Data. For information on to modify the data in Teradata with INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements, see Modifying Data .

Executing Stored Procedures

You can call stored procedures by using the EXECUTE statement. For further information, see Calling Stored Procedures.
