DataConnect offers the Full Experience with Teradata. This allows you to create queries using a tile-based drag and drop query builder. The tile-based editor functions with Teradata Provider for .NET 4.0, OLEDB and ODBC.
However, automatic joins are currently only supported on Teradata Provider for .NET 4.0 based connections.
We recommend using the Teradata Provider for .NET 4.0 where available.
