Introduction

In order to use SAS data cleansing functionality inside the Teradata database, the following products must be installed in addition to the SAS In-Database Technologies for Teradata (SAS Embedded Process):
  • SAS Data Quality Accelerator for Teradata
  • a SAS Quality Knowledge Base (QKB)
SAS Data Quality Accelerator for Teradata contains shell scripts that enable you to create and manage data quality stored procedures within the Teradata database. In addition, it contains a shell script that enables you to package the QKB for deployment inside the Teradata database.
The QKB is a collection of files that store data and logic that support data management operations. SAS software products reference the QKB when performing data management operations on your data.
Each Teradata node needs approximately 200 MB of disk space in the /opt file system for the SAS Embedded Process and approximately 8 GB for the QKB.
