How do you design aggregate tables using teradata?

Answer Posted / farheen

An aggregate table is those tables which contain the summary of the existing warehouse. It is used to save the time as retrieving data from a million of records in the actual table will take too much time. So, aggregate the tables to a certain level of dimensions and use them.

Teradata supports some aggregate functions which are:

COUNT: It is used to count the rows.
SUM: used to calculate the sum of specified columns.
MIN: To find the minimum value from specified columns.
MAX: to find the maximum value from specified columns
AVG: to calculate the average of specified columns.
