ODBC connectivity to teradata from RHEL

Hi,
As per a post dated 2013 Teradata odbc didnt support Fast Export or any other utilities. Is it still the case or has there been an update on this.
I need to connect to teradata database from RHEL box using odbc to extract the data. As of now I am only able to do so using tdxodbc.
is there a better way to do this as I need to truncate the logging part from top and bottom of the output also I feel this solution might face performance issues in production environment with large data.
 
Regards
Sanjay
