Great course with clear, well-paced explanations. Even with prior SQL experience, I learned a lot about Teradata-specific concepts like primary index and the loading utilities (BTEQ, FastLoad, TPT). Thank you for putting this together!

Concepts of Teradata Viewpoint and other behind the scene concepts like Explain, collect statistics where not covered in the topic. Also adding run through on documentation of Teradatabe and it's usage would be better for practical scenarios.

If you are a beginner and looking for the basics of Teradata along with the basics Of SQL then go for it, Simple profound and well presented, and if you are Asian then definitely go for it cause its the accent that helps you to feel like in school.

Some good information however quite old and out of date. Example, using TD Assistant which is no longer available to download. Also, the instructor could prepare better - have a plan, prep some scripts and avoid thinking on the fly, making errors then correcting them.

There is a lot of useful material in this course. Also, the author has created many slides to visually present it. That having been said, there are a lot of rough edges in this course. The order of presentation of the material is on occasion peculiar. Sometimes, the presenter just mentions the words on the slides without any "verbal smoothing".

It could have been better, if creating Database, users, profiles and Grant permissions are provided using commands instead of GUI.

Excellent Explanation with practical scenarios with in the short time.

The installation took much longer than it should due to out-of-date installation instructions, which led to uncertainty about which versions and features of the software to install.

I really enjoyed this course, I was able to take fantastic notes to reference later and as a visual learner it really helped to see each function and clause in action.
By Mayank Agarwal on 9/11/2020
Very basics and needs to be a bit in detail about Utilities.
