Question

IS it possible to copy status message in teradata?
(I don’t want to type them everytime, for example when I try to google the error message)

Answer 1

Depending on the tool that you are using to query Teradata will determine how these messages are exposed to the end user:

• BTEQ and the Teradata Load/Unload utility log files will contain the error code and the error message returned via the CLI.
• SQL Assistant should capture the error code and possibly the error message in the SQL History file. This is also stored in an Access Database that you can access separately from SQL Assistant if you have Microsoft Access installed on your system.
• AtanaSuite QueryTool captures both the error code and the error message in the SQL History. This is stored in a flat file that you can open with your text editor separately.
• Stored Procedures – It is not possible to capture the exact error message within a stored procedure but you can get the error code and log it to a log table in your error handler.

If I recall correctly there is a table named DBC.ErrorText that also contains the tokenized error messages that you can query. Lastly, the Teradata Manuals have an entire book dedicated to Messages that includes the Teradata Database messages returned for errors.

Hope this helps.
