Supported Objects and Operations for Teradata

This section lists the data operations and database objects that Oracle GoldenGate supports.

  • Oracle GoldenGate supports the maximum number of columns per table that is supported by the database.

  • Truncating operations are supported with the use of the GETTRUNCATES parameter with Oracle GoldenGate 12.2.x and greater.

  • Limitations on Automatic Heartbeat Table support are as follows:

    • The ALTER HEARTBEATTABLE command is not supported and if used is ignored.

    • The ADD HEARTBEATTABLE command with the FREQUENCY, PURGE_FREQUENCY, or RETENTION_TIME option is not supported. When any of these options are specified with the ADD HEARTBEATTABLE command, a warning is displayed that the option is ignored.

    • Since Teradata does not have any internal event/job schedulers, automatic purging of heartbeat history data does not occur. You need to explicitly delete or truncate records periodically from the heartbeat history table.
