Teiid 7.7 Final Released

We are pleased to announce Teiid 7.7 is now available.  While mostly a fix release with nearly 50 issues addressed, highlights of 7.7 features include:

• Excel JDBC Translator - for use with Excel using the JDBC-ODBC bridge.
• Salesforce Aggregates - salesforce pushdown queries now support GROUP BY, HAVING, and the standard aggregate functions.
• Comparable LOBs - the system property org.teiid.comparableLobs can be set to use CLOB and BLOB values in comparison/sorting/grouping operations.
• Padded String Comparison - the system property org.teiid.padSpace can be set to effectively right pad strings to the same length for comparison.
