Updated: Sep 16, 2022


Tom Coffing taught Teradata certification back in the 90s. Tom wrote six Tera-Cram books, and 10,000 people became certified. Thousands of people became Teradata Certified Masters from Tom's books.


Are you ready to learn about Teradata from the best technical trainer the world has ever seen? Tom Coffing, AKA Tera-Tom, makes learning fun, exciting, and easy. Learning Teradata Architecture is one of the best moves you can make in your career because Teradata has the most comprehensive design in the industry.


Tom Coffing is an expert on all database systems as he has written over 85 books covering them all. Once Tom understood the Teradata Architecture, the other databases were easy to learn.


Tom became famous as a teacher because he memorized every student's name when he greeted them. Tom has taught over 1,000 classes and never missed a single name. Ask anyone who attended a class taught by Tom Coffing.


Tom has also led a team of developers for almost 20 years to create the Nexus, which queries, migrates, and joins data across all systems.


Nexus version 17 can migrate from every combination between all systems as the source or the target.

What is Parallel Processing?


I was teaching in Africa for a second time, and one of the students in my previous class said, "Tom, you don't have a slide about the parallel processing laundry mat. That example taught me more about data warehousing than anything I ever learned."


Watch the video and understand parallel processing.
