We need to access a Teradata database via php application We don’t have odbc (unixodbc etc) on the server.
How might one go about connecting to a teradata database quickly.
Keep in mind – this app needs to be as portable as possible.

This method would help you if u are ok with the memory implications and this would help you if you have teradata command line utility BTEQ installed on your machine.
But better method would be by ODBC as it gives you the flexibility. In the above method of command line execution of SQL scripts by system() function, you can use an easier language like R for parsing the output resultset.
I think you may also do it by jdbc connection. You can also download any of these odbc/jdbc drivers from this link.
