Proposed Outline For Physical Database Design by Wells Fargo Day 1

This 4-day course from Wells Fargo teaches physical database design on Teradata systems. It covers topics such as data distribution, hashing, indexes, partitioning, statistics collection, and query optimization. The focus is on table design using the CREATE TABLE statement and transforming logical data models into physical implementations on Teradata. Performance considerations for indexing, joins, aggregations and integrity constraints are also addressed. Hands-on exercises reinforce concepts for choosing primary and secondary indexes, creating partitioned tables, and using explain plans and statistics.

Teradata Physical Database Design
This course is a Customized Course for Wells Fargo to teach how to defines the processes and
procedures to follow when designing a database for implementation on a Teradata system. It
explains how to transform a logical data model into an extended data model. The focus of this
course is on the C!"T! T"#$! statement% including all aspects of table design. It co&ers Teradata
data distribution% access% and use of deri&ed data. 'imilarities between (oin and aggregation
processing% and the implementation of eferential Integrity are also discussed. "lso co&ered in the
course are the steps to optimize space management. ')$ *ueries
