I am able to query, but under DBC, in the Database Explorer, I do not see the list of tables. That also makes it impossible for me to qualify name and get any kind of ide support while writing my queries.

By default, Teradata SQL Assistant will attempt to query the views
DBC.Databses
,DBC.Tables
,DBC.Columns
to populate the Database Explorer. It is possible in your environment that those objects are not accessible to developers or end users via thePUBLIC
user. Instead, you may need to modify your connection settings ODBC or .Net Provider to use the X-Views in DBC. These are a collection of views which restrict the rows returned based on the privileges your user account has been granted to access or which you have created.The ODBC DSN, .Net Provider, and JDBC drivers for Teradata have a means to use the X-Views by default to enable database tools such as SQL Assistant or Teradata Studio/Studio Express to populate the database explorer controls "transparently". Try this and see if it works.
