Teradata.Database(server as text, optional options as nullable record) as table

About

Returns a table of SQL tables and views from the Teradata database on server server. The port may be optionally specified with the server, separated by a colon. An optional record parameter, options, may be specified to control the following options:

  • CreateNavigationProperties: A logical (true/false) that sets whether to generate navigation properties on the returned values (default is true).

  • NavigationPropertyNameGenerator: A function that is used for the creation of names for navigation properties.

  • Query: A native SQL query used to retrieve data. If the query produces multiple result sets, only the first will be returned.

  • CommandTimeout: A duration that controls how long the server-side query is allowed to run before it is canceled. The default value is ten minutes.

  • ConnectionTimeout: A duration that controls how long to wait before abandoning an attempt to make a connection to the server. The default value is driver-dependent.

  • HierarchicalNavigation: A logical (true/false) that sets whether to view the tables grouped by their schema names (default is false).

The record parameter is specified as [option1 = value1, option2 = value2...] or [Query = "select ..."] for example.
