I want to write to a Teradata database in a WF report and nobody here has ever done that. Can someone provide an example of the code to do this? I did a search and didn't get what I needed.

Ted,

Look at using SQL passthru - search on SQL UPDATE from the link top right.

Thanks Tony, but I misspoke. I need to update a SQL Server database. I found this code but I can't see where it actually writes to the SQL Server table:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT DCOST RCOST
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
BY BODYTYPE
-*DEFAULT HOLD NAME IS HOLD WHEN AS IS NOT USED
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLDCAR
END
-RUN
MODIFY FILE CAR2
FIXFORM FROM HOLDCAR
MATCH COUNTRY CAR MODEL BODYTYPE
ON MATCH UPDATE *
ON NOMATCH INCLUDE
DATA ON HOLDCAR
END

Try this link which is what you should have got from your search on SQL UPDATE.

Also see the code below

SQL SQLDBC
  your SQL code which can include INSERT, UPDATE, DROP, CREATE ect. etc. etc.
;
END

Use the code Tony suggested and see here: Insert Record to table in SQL server

As yourself and the guys have posted, there are basically two ways to update an RDBMS.

SQL - Issueing an SQL UPDATE
MODIFY - WebFOCUS's data maintenance code.

And yes there is Maintain, but you need a licence for that.

SQL will be the most versatile as some DB formats are not supported very well with MODIFY or Maintain.
