# Use Fivetran to load data from external sources to Teradata Vantage

## Overview
This quickstart demonstrates how to use Fivetran to transfer data from different sources like `Google Sheets`, `PostgreSQL` and `Amazon S3` into `Teradata Vantage`.

## Load data from Google Sheets to Teradata Vantage


### Before You Begin

Make sure you:

- Have access to a Google account with edit access to the relevant Google Sheet.
- Have an available named range defined in the Google Sheet.
- Have connection credentials to a Teradata ClearScape instance.

### Prerequisites
* Active [Fivetran Account](https://fivetran.com/login?_gl=1*9knhuy*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NDM3NDI1MjguQ2p3S0NBanc0N2lfQmhCVEVpd0FhSmZQcHRGNDZmVVFqcnFaMGFiS0VpbVBkSUY3b3lQdTdicDdTZ1R2X3RHZTFGR253OFNYRnI0Nlp4b0MteXdRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_gcl_au*MTg1ODQxODI2LjE3MzgxMzM1Nzg.*_ga*MzM3MDk5MDc3LjE3MzgxMzM1Nzg.*_ga_NE72Z5F3GB*MTc0NDExMjU0MC4xOS4wLjE3NDQxMTI1NDAuNjAuMC4w*_ga_MD1R8Y04Z3*MTc0NDExMjU0MC40LjAuMTc0NDExMjU0MC42MC4wLjA)
* Access to a Teradata Vantage instance.

<ClearscapeDocsNote />

### Setup Google Sheets
Refer to the [Google Sheets Setup Guide](https://fivetran.com/docs/connectors/files/google-sheets/google-sheets-setup-guide) to configure sharing permissions and named ranges for data transfer using Fivetran.


### Fivetran Setup: Sync from Google Sheets to Teradata

#### Configure Teradata as Destination
1. Login to [Fivetran Dashboard](https://fivetran.com/login?_gl=1*9knhuy*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NDM3NDI1MjguQ2p3S0NBanc0N2lfQmhCVEVpd0FhSmZQcHRGNDZmVVFqcnFaMGFiS0VpbVBkSUY3b3lQdTdicDdTZ1R2X3RHZTFGR253OFNYRnI0Nlp4b0MteXdRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_gcl_au*MTg1ODQxODI2LjE3MzgxMzM1Nzg.*_ga*MzM3MDk5MDc3LjE3MzgxMzM1Nzg.*_ga_NE72Z5F3GB*MTc0NDExMjU0MC4xOS4wLjE3NDQxMTI1NDAuNjAuMC4w*_ga_MD1R8Y04Z3*MTc0NDExMjU0MC40LjAuMTc0NDExMjU0MC42MC4wLjA) with valid credentials.
2. Navigate to `Destinations` from the left menu.
3. Click on `Add destination`.
![fivetran_add_destination.png](..%2Fimages%2Ffivetran_add_destination.png)
4. Search for and select `Teradata`.
5. Provide a name for the destination and Click `Add`.
6. Enter the required connection details.
- `Host`: Provide Teradata ClearScape instance hostname
- `Logon Mechanism`: TD2
- `Username`: Teradata ClearScape username

- `Database`: Target Database Name

##### Optional Connection Parameters
You can provide additional JDBC or destination-specific parameters to customize the connection. These fields are optional and may not be required for all environments:

##### `SSL Mode:` Controls the SSL encryption level. Common values:
- `DISABLE`: No SSL
- `ALLOW`: SSL if available
- `REQUIRE`: Enforce SSL
- `VERIFY_CA`: Enforce SSL and validate certificate authority
- `VERIFY_FULL`: Enforce SSL, validate certificate authority, and perform hostname verification
##### `Transaction Mode:` Defines how transactions are handled:
- `ANSI`: Enables ANSI-compliant transaction behavior
- `TERADATA`: Uses Teradata's native transaction mode
##### `JDBC Parameters:` For example:
- `CHARSET=UTF8`: Sets the character encoding.
- `ENCRYPTDATA=TRUE`: Enables data encryption in transit.
- Refer to [Teradata JDBC Driver](https://teradata-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/doc/connectivity/jdbc/reference/current/jdbcug_chapter_2.html) Documentation for a full list of supported options.
