First time creating a connector? Read this first.
Teradata Enterprise Vector Store is a specialized database designed to store and manage high-dimensional vectors (numeric arrays that encode meaning or similarity). Rather than rely on exact keyword matches, vector stores use semantic search by storing data as vectors.

​
Requirements

You will need:
  • The base URL for the Teradata Analytics REST API endpoint. The format depends on your VantageCloud Enterprise deployment type:
    • For private VPC: https://<site-id>.private.cloud.teradata.com
    • For public site gateway: https://<site-id>.gateway.cloud.teradata.com
    Replace <site-id> with your Teradata site ID. Contact your Teradata system administrator if you do not know your site ID. For more information, see Vector Store Service Access and Authentication in the Teradata Enterprise Vector Store User Guide.
    The REST API URL is not available for VantageCloud Lake (VCL) deployments. VCL deployments use JWT or PAT token-based authentication and are not currently supported by this connector.
  • The username and password for your Teradata database account. This connector uses Basic Authentication (TD2), supported on AI-on-premises and VantageCloud Enterprise deployments. The account must have been granted the TD_AIAdmin role. This role is required to create vector collections. Contact your Teradata system administrator to confirm that your account has been granted this role. If you do not know your credentials, contact your Teradata system administrator. For more information, see Authenticating Users in the Teradata Enterprise Vector Store User Guide.
  • The name of the collection to create or add data to. A vector collection refers to an instance of Vector Store. An enterprise vector store may comprise thousands of vector collections, each tailored for a specific use case or workflow. Collection names must be unique within the vector store. They can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores, matching the following regex pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$.
    • To use an existing collection, contact your Teradata system administrator for the collection name, or use the Collection Manager to list available collections.
    • To create a new collection, provide a unique name. The connector creates the collection automatically on first use.
    For more information, see Creating a Vector Collection in the Teradata Enterprise Vector Store User Guide.

Create the connector

To create the destination connector:
  1. On the sidebar, click Connectors.
  2. Click Destinations.
  3. Click New or Create Connector.
  4. Give the connector some unique Name.
  5. In the Provider area, click Teradata Vector Store.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. Follow the on-screen instructions to fill in the fields as described later on this page.
  8. Click Save and Test.
Fill in the following fields:
  • Name (required): A unique name for this connector.
  • Base URL (required): The base URL for the Teradata Analytics REST API endpoint. The format depends on your VantageCloud Enterprise deployment type:
    • For private VPC: https://<site-id>.private.cloud.teradata.com
    • For public site gateway: https://<site-id>.gateway.cloud.teradata.com
    Replace <site-id> with your Teradata site ID. Contact your Teradata system administrator if you do not know your site ID. For more information, see Vector Store Service Access and Authentication in the Teradata Enterprise Vector Store User Guide.
  • User (required): The username for your Teradata database account. The account must have been granted the TD_AIAdmin role. This role is required to create vector collections. Contact your Teradata system administrator to confirm that your account has been granted this role.
  • Password (required): The password for your Teradata database account.
  • Host: The database host. Defaults to the base URL if not otherwise specified.
  • Database: The name of the database.
  • Collection Name (required): The name of the collection to create or add data to. Collection names must be unique within the vector store. Names can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores, matching the following regex pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$. To create a new collection, provide a unique name. The connector creates the collection automatically on first use.
  • Use Precomputed Embeddings: Check the Use Precomputed Embeddings box if your Unstructured workflow is configured to generate embedding vectors. Uncheck to have Teradata generate embeddings automatically.
  • Deduplicate: Check the Deduplicate box to delete existing documents with the same filename before uploading new versions. This enables idempotent re-runs without destroying the entire collection. Uncheck to preserve existing documents.
