• Data access guide also introduces another topic "Teradata Connections - Mapping Teradata Database to Current Owner" as below:
  ----------------------------
  A Teradata database supports table owners, but not qualifiers. The Connection Server returns the current user as current owner for Teradata data sources. However, the data source may be configured to map a user to the database of another user. In this case, you can configure the Teradata driver to map the current owner to the database with the Replace Current Owner With Database parameter. You can only use this parameter with ODBC connections.
