Teradata to MySQL Integration

How Datrise loads Teradata into MySQL

Datrise syncs Teradata's tables, rows, schemas, indexes, primary indexes, and query history into MySQL as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as DATETIME/TIMESTAMP.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional RANGE partitioning by load date. MySQL collation matters for CRM text, so Datrise lands utf8mb4 to preserve emoji and non-Latin characters.

Ideal for operational reporting and app databases already standardized on MySQL.

Endpoints

Teradata: Teradata analytical database for enterprise workloads.

MySQL: Widely used OSS relational engine (InnoDB).

How Teradata entities map to MySQL

Teradata entity	MySQL object	Notes
tables	`teradata_d_tables`	id PK · custom fields → JSON columns
rows	`teradata_d_rows`	id PK · linked to teradata_d_tables
schemas	`teradata_d_schemas`	id PK · linked to teradata_d_tables
indexes	`teradata_d_indexes`	id PK · linked to teradata_d_tables

FAQ

How does Datrise handle Teradata's custom fields in MySQL?

Flexible values are stored as JSON columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native MySQL types.

How does the Teradata to MySQL sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
