Question - What do you know about a Channel driver in Teradata? How it is different from Gateway?
Answer -
While managing the data and handling other tasks related to it, the users have to make sure that there is effective communication between the applications and the PE’s that are considered. For this, a software called Channel Driver is used. Generally, it acts as a direct link between them and enables clients to share information easily.
Gateways are quite similar to that of Channel driver but the only difference is they enable the communication of PE and applications in the case of network clients or for the clients who are attached to the network.
