Teradata

Software Engineer

Jul 2016 – Feb 2018 · 1 yr 7 mos · Hyderabad Area, India

Completed Teradata Certified Professional Exam.
Increased the size of request cache (which stores the optimized query plans of queries in the
cache so that the optimizer does not need to parse the queries again if they are available in the
cache) and the segment size of the cache structure in order to save more number of queries in
the request cache.
Here parsing time of queries is saved and increased the higher limit for increasing the number
of queries present in the request cache.
Modified the data structures to accommodate the new changes and learned more on Teradata’s
way of parsing queries.
