4. Teradata Database 16.20: Release Numbering
Each update (including the two with new features) will be identified with the 3rd set of the release number (e.g )
Each update is a cumulative update of previous update releases
16.20.xx
16.20.xx
16.20.xx
16.20.xx
16.20.xx
16.20.xx
16.20.xx … … …
3 years GA
So now that you have an understanding of maintenance updates and feature updates, let me go over quickly about how they are numbered. After the initial release of 16.20, each of the updates – both the maintenance and feature updates – are numbered using the 3rd set of release number, like , 16.20,02, and so on.
As I mentioned in the maintenance updates slide, each of the updates is a cumulative of all previous updates.
