This is the query to find the amount of space which each table occupy in there respective Database.
SELECT
DATABASENAME (TITLE ‘Database’)
,TABLENAME (TITLE ‘Table Name’)
,SUM(CURRENTPERM)/(1024*1024*1024) (DECIMAL(15,6)) (TITLE ‘Current Perm Space(GB)’)
FROM DBC.TABLESIZE
WHERE DATABASENAME = ‘YOUR_DATABASE_NAME‘
GROUP BY 1,2
ORDER BY 3 DESC
Where ‘YOUR_DATABASE_NAME‘ is the name of the database for which u need to do the analysis.
This Query will return 3 columns Database, Table Name and Current Perm Space(GB).Based on the analysis of these data we can easily see that how much space each table is occupying in the database.

Hi Raj,
Can you please give me a query for transpose columns to rows and rows to columns?
Use Union to transpose column to rows and rows to column.
Thank you for the excellent query!!!!!!

Go to this link –

for complete knowledge about Teradata certifications.
Initially you have to clear Basics and SQL certificate , to move to another level.
I suggest to go through Teradata Users Guide by COFFINGS and also refer WBT material from Teradata site itself.
For practice question on both these certifications you can refer –
