FastLoad Insights

What is FastLoad?

FastLoad is a utility used primarily with Teradata databases. It's designed for high-speed bulk loading of data into empty Teradata tables. It works by bypassing much of the normal Teradata transaction processing overhead, allowing for significantly faster data ingestion than standard SQL INSERT statements, but can only load empty tables.
