How can I check if I have access to the Teradata table?
To verify if the Teradata table is accessible, you can follow these steps:
- Log in to the Teradata database console or use Teradata SQL Assistant.
- Query the table access permission using the Teradata system database DBC (Database Control). First, run the following command to log in to the DBC database:
- Login as dbc user to the Teradata Database.
- Check the access permissions for the table. Execute the following command, replacing the table name with the one you want to view:
- Show all the permissions for the specified database and table from the dbc.allrights table.
- The result set will return the access permission information of the table. If the result set is empty, it means the table has no access permission.
- Please make sure to replace “database_name” with the name of the database where the table is located, and replace “table_name” with the name of the table you want to view. If you don’t know the name of the database where the table is located, you can use the SHOW TABLE command to find the database.
- After finishing, you can use the following command to exit the DBC database:
- Please log off.
This way, you can check if the Teradata table is accessible. If the table does not have access rights, you may need to contact the database administrator to obtain the necessary access permissions.
