Home Page
On the top half of the screen, you will see links to an overview for this site, register to

create your account for Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition. The “Manage Courses for

courses, and databases. The last link is used to email your password if you forget it.
There are also four links associated with Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition. The first
link will take you to Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition, where you can execute
queries, see the results, and manage the history of your queries. The second is a tutorial
that gives you a quick overview of Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition. The third is a

 To login, simply type in your TUN ID Email Address and TUN ID Password, then
click on Login. Once you leave this screen, you will not get this screen again while you
are logged into this site. Each time you access the site you will use your login.

Register for Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition
This is the screen you will see once you enter your TUN ID and Password.
1) Enter the SQL Login you wish to use. This will be your login to access Teradata SQL
Assistant/Web Edition. This must be alphanumeric and start with a letter, no spaces or
special characters.
2) Enter a SQL Password. This will be your password to access Teradata SQL
Assistant/Web Edition. Again, you may only use alphanumeric and start with a letter, no
spaces or special characters.
3) Re-enter your password for verification.
4) Choose a Hint Phrase from the list and fill in the Hint Answer. The hint will be used to
retrieve your SQL Password by email if you forget it.
If you do not enter the input correctly, you will get an error message. Any necessary
changes will appear in red in the associated areas of the screen.
Once you create an SQL login, you will get a message stating the account has been
created. Then you may use the links in the orange bar at the top of the screen to go to
the home page, create courses, or manage databases.

Course Maintenance
After creating a SQL account, you will have three choices available here. The first is
used to add a new course into the system. The second is used to modify or delete a
course you previously created, and the third is used to activate or deactivate databases
for courses you have created.
If you decide not to create a course at this time, you may use the links in the orange bar
to navigate to the home page, create another course, modify courses, manage
databases, or execute Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition.

Create a Course
This page is used to create a course that uses Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition.
1) Enter the title of the course you would like to create. The course title cannot contain
apostrophes. This will appear as an error if you use apostrophes.
2) Select the type of course that is being created from the pull down menu.
3) Select the default database you wish to use. This will be the database the students
will use for the class you create. When the students login to SQL Assistant, they will
automatically have access to the “default database”. If you would like to see a
description of the databases, please click on the link to the right of Default Database
selection. If you wish to use additional databases, please see the section on Manage
Course Databases.
4) You may also enter a password for the course you created. This will be used for the
students when they register for the course. They will have to use this password or they
will not be able to register for the course. This is optional, so you are not required to use
a course password.
Once you create the course, you will get a message stating that the course has been
created successfully. You may then create another course, or use the links in the orange
bar to manage your courses, manage the databases, or login to Teradata SQL
Assistant/Web Edition.

Modify or Delete Course
This screen is used to modify or delete a course you have created.
1) Simply select the Course Title. The Course Type, the Default Database, and the
Course Password will be filled in. At this point you can modify the Course Type, Default
Database, or the Course Password.
2) You may also delete a course you have created. Please note, when you delete a
course, all student accounts registered for that course will be deleted.
If you choose to change the Default Database, the original Default Database is still
selectable by the students using SQL Assistant. To remove the original Default
Database, you will need to go the database management screen and remove it. (Please
see the next section on Manage Course Databases.)
When you have modified or deleted a course, you will see a confirmation message.
Once you are finished with this screen, you may use the links in the orange bar to create
another course, manage the databases, or login to Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition.

Manage Course Databases
This screen is used to manage the databases for your courses. The page allows you to
activate or deactivate databases for your courses.
1) Choose the name of your course. Once you have done this, you will see the Available
Databases to the left, and the Selected Databases to the right. Please note, the default
database you selected when you created the course will appear in the Selected
Databases box with the word ‘default’ in parenthesis. If you want to see a description of
the databases, click on the link for descriptions of the databases at the bottom of the
screen.
2) To select an additional database to use for your course, simply highlight the course in
the left box and click on the right arrow to make it active for your course. When you
activate a database, the students registered for the course will be granted select access
to the database.
3) If you want to deactivate a database for a course, highlight the database on the right
and click on the left arrow and it will be deactivated. When you deactivate a database,
the access created for the students registered for the course will be removed.
If you used the Modify / Delete Course screen to modify your default database, and you
do not want your students to have access to the old Default Database, you will need to
remove the old Default Database on this screen.
When you have completed this page, you may use the links in the orange bar to create
another course, manage your courses, or login to Teradata SQL Assistant/Web Edition.
