FAST EXPORT
**************
- Used to export data from Teradata into flat files
- Can generate data in report format
- Data can be extracted from one or more tables using join
- Deals in block export (Useful for extracting large volumes)
- Is the ability to ship data over multiple session connections simultaneously thereby leveraging the total connectivity available between the client platform and the database engine. In order to do this,Fastexport spends more resources on executing the query in order to prepare the blocks in such a way that when they are exported over multiple sessions they can easily be reassembled in the right order by the client without additional sorting or processing of the rows.
