Teiid 8.3 CR1 has been posted to the downloads .  The new features since beta2 include: TEIID-196   Source Temporary Tables   - temporary (locally scoped) tables may be defined at runtime against physical sources with a CREATE FOREIGN TEMPORARY TABLE statement. See the Reference for more. TEIID-2159   JSON Production   - added the JSONARRAY, JSONARRAY_AGG, JSONOBJECT, and JSONPARSE constructs for producing JSON. See the Reference for more. TEIID-2248   Bulk Salesforce Inserts   - added the ability for the Salesforce translator to perform bulk inserts. We've been getting great feedback on the beta releases, which has led to several important fixes - so keep up the good work with the CR!  Be sure to contribute any documentation or Javadoc updates that you see are needed as well.  8.3 Final is on track for 2 weeks from now so now is a great time to help shape the 8.4 release.

Teiid 8.3.x release has a new translator "odata", that supports consuming of OData sources. Using this translator a user can integrate data from a OData source with other sources in Teiid. If you like to know what OData is and Teiid support for it, please read this previous post http://teiid.blogspot.com/2013/02/odata-support-in-teiid.html In this blog, we will write a Teiid VDB, that shows how to consume a OData source, and how Teiid uses OData's CSDL metadata document to expose it in relational form such that it can be integrated with other sources. So, let's begin.. In a Teiid system, OData translator is a extension of the "ws" web services translator, since all OData queries are REST based web service calls, and results are published in "atom/pub" or "json" format, it uses the same resource adapter "teiid-connector-ws.rar". For this example, we will use a example OData service at http://services.odata.org/Northwind...

Are you writing a "node.js" application and would like to access Teiid VDB from it? If "yes", this is currently possible using NPM package "pg" .  Since, Teiid supports the PG transport, you can use this PostgreSQL client for "node.js" for accessing the Teiid. For example if you have VDB called "northwind" deployed on your Teiid server, and it has table called "customers" and you are using default configuration such as user = 'user' password = 'user' host = 127.0.0.1 port = 35432 then you can use following to write simple access program to Teiid var pg = require('pg'); var connectionString = "pg://user:user@localhost:35432/northwind" pg.connect(connectionString, function(err, client) { client.query('SELECT CustomerID, ContactName, ContactTitle FROM Customers', function(err, result) { console.log(result.rows) }); }); If you want ...

What Is OData? "The Open Data Protocol (OData) is a Web protocol for querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock your data and free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this by applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP , Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to information from a variety of applications, services, and stores. The protocol emerged from experiences implementing AtomPub clients and servers in a variety of products over the past several years.  OData is being used to expose and access information from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, relational databases, file systems, content management systems and traditional Web sites. " - taken directly from http://www.odata.org  OData is specification from OASIS committee, and this specification is backed by Microsoft, SAP AG, IBM, Citrix, Progress Software and WSO2. W...
