How teradata makes sure that there are no duplicate rows being inserted when its a set table?..

Answer / Vikas Dubey

In Teradata's Set tables, duplicate rows are prevented using the Deduplication feature. This is done by storing only one copy of each unique row and maintaining pointers to the original row. When retrieving data, Teradata returns only the original row, not the pointers.
