Teradata Data Warehouse

To install the Teradata packages (which come as rpm packages) on Debian amd64, we need a mix of manual install and use of the alien command. alien works fine for amd64 but we need the 32 bit libraries for some of the functionality.

The script below automatically install the packages assuming the sourced .tar.gz files are in a folder called tar. The tar files are downloaded from Teradata. This then allows 32 bit bteq to work just fine, as well as 32 bit SAS version 9.1. For the 64 bit side, SAS 9.2 and ODBC with R and isql work just fine.

# Install TD12 from tar files in the tar folder. 
# Convert where possible to Debian packages. 
# Install both 32 bit (for bteq and sas_9.1) and 64 bit (for sas, odbc) 
# Use Debian's alien to convert to Debian packages then install. 
# For 32 bit use alien to extract all files, and then manually install.
