Resolving FastLoad error 2652
When data is being loaded via FastLoad, a table lock is placed on the target table. This means that the table is unavailable for any other operations. A lock on a table is only released when FastLoad encounters the END LOADING command, which terminates phase 2, the so-called application phase. FastLoad may get terminated in phase 1 due to any of the following reasons:
- Load script results in failure (error code 8 or 12)
- Load script is aborted by admin or some other session
- FastLoad fails due to bad record or file
- Forgetting to add end loading statement in script
If so, it keeps a lock on the table, which needs to be released manually. In this recipe, we will see the steps to release FastLoad locks.
Getting ready
Identify the table on which FastLoad is been ended pre-maturely and tables are in locked state. You need to have valid credentials for the Teradata Database.
Execute the dummy FastLoad script from the same user or the user which has write access to the lock table...
