Teradata Connection¶

The Teradata connection type enables integrations with Teradata.

Configuring the Connection¶

Host (required)

The host to connect to.

Database (optional)

Specify the name of the database to connect to.

Login (required)

Specify the user name to connect.

Password (required)

Specify the password to connect.

Extra (optional)

Specify the extra parameters (as json dictionary) that can be used in Teradata connection. The following parameters out of the standard python parameters are supported:

tmode - Specifies the transaction mode.Possible values are DEFAULT (the default), ANSI, or TERA
sslmode - This option specifies the mode for connections to the database. There are six modes: disable, allow, prefer, require, verify-ca, verify-full.
sslca - This parameter specifies the file name of a PEM file that contains Certificate Authority (CA) certificates for use with sslmode values VERIFY-CA or VERIFY-FULL.
sslcapath - This parameter specifies the TLS cipher for HTTPS/TLS connections.
sslcipher - This parameter specifies the name of a file containing SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate(s).
sslcrc - This parameter controls TLS certificate revocation checking for HTTPS/TLS connections when sslmode is VERIFY-FULL.
sslprotocol - Specifies the TLS protocol for HTTPS/TLS connections.

More details on all Teradata parameters supported can be found in Teradata documentation.

Example “extras” field:

{
   "tmode": "TERA",
   "sslmode": "verify-ca",
   "sslcert": "/tmp/client-cert.pem",
   "sslca": "/tmp/server-ca.pem",
   "sslkey": "/tmp/client-key.pem"
}

When specifying the connection as URI (in AIRFLOW_CONN_{CONN_ID} variable) you should specify it following the standard syntax of DB connections, where extras are passed as parameters of the URI (note that all components of the URI should be URL-encoded).

For example:

export AIRFLOW_CONN_TERADATA_DEFAULT='teradata://teradata_user:XXXXXXXXXXXX@1.1.1.1:/teradatadb?tmode=tera&sslmode=verify-ca&sslca=%2Ftmp%2Fserver-ca.pem'
