Giraffez is a client library for `Teradata `_, made to be fast and user-friendly. It shares many features with the official Teradata tools, but makes them available in an easy-to-use command-line interface and Python API.

Features
########

- `Command-line tool `_
- `Python API `_ - expressive, powerful, and great for `working with other packages `_ (e.g. `pandas `_)
- `Execute `_ SQL statements using the Teradata CLIv2 library -- performing ad hoc queries and commands
- `Insert `_ into existing Teradata tables using the CLIv2 drivers
- `Archive `_ Teradata tables to save space. These can easily be `transformed to flatfiles `_ or `loaded `_ back into Teradata
- `BulkExport `_ from Teradata to a flatfile or archival format, retaining data type information
- `BulkLoad `_ into existing Teradata tables using the Teradata PT Update (MLOAD)
- `Config `_ - manage connection information and credentials securely using the ``giraffez config`` and ``giraffez secret`` commands
- `Interactive shell `_ for executing Teradata queries -- much like BTEQ, but with a friendly interface
- `Run `_ job files in YAML format
