The replies you have gotten so far from John Adams et al. are right on. I will just add one point:

inserted into teradata tables. | |
Well, yes -- it is just as good as C at that sort of thing and much faster to develop. But why would you do such a thing?
If you need to massage the records before inserting them into Teradata, you're better off writing an INMOD to your load jobs.
