For SQLA to work, you need to download it from the developer.teradata.com website and download Teradata Tools and Utilities, also known as TTU. Once downloaded and installed, start making the connection using ODBC, .NET, or JDBC.
SQLA can informally be referred to as a lightweight version of Studio or Express; you will find it easier to navigate and use.
Here, we will use SQLA 16.0. It is highly recommended that you use the TTU version that matches or is higher than the major release version number of the Teradata Database that you intend to connect with. So, if you are on Teradata Database 15.10, use TTU 15.10 or 16. TTU 13.10 is not recommended. Now that we have this covered, let's move on to the connection.
