    • use the enableDependentJoins translator property.
    See the Reference for more.

  • TEIID-2571 Broader Must Pushdown - must pushdown functions tied to a particular model that supports selects without from can now be called without at any time.
  • TEIID-2572 Function native-query - source functions for most translators now support the native-query extension metadata property to specify alternative syntax.

  • TEIID-2443 Simple aggregate rollup - added support for a single ROLLUP grouping element to produce multiple levels of aggregation. See the Reference for more.
  • TEIID-2614 Anonymous procedure blocks - anonymous procedure blocks may be used as statements. See the Reference for more.
  • TEIID-247 Expanded array support - adding parsing and JDBC and other support for arrays. See the Reference for more. Note that this support should be considered a tech preview and will be expanded/refined over subsequent releases.
  • TEIID-2584 Materialization management - added a tech preview of management routines for external materialized views including scheduled refresh via extension metadata properties.
In total 108 issues were resolved - including several important Teiid procedure and OData production issues.

Lots of great community feedback went into this release from the forums and with issues from Mark Addleman and team, Red Hatter Graeme Gillies, long time user Luca Gioppo, and others including several new faces.

Housekeeping as of late includes an on going overhaul of the examples/quickstarts and we've created new JIRA projects to track:
This will help keep the Teiid JIRAs as focused as possible - so don't hesitate to log issues as you find them with Teiid or any related component.

Also if you haven't seen it yet, we've pulled together a single Security Guide from documentation that was spread among the other guides.

Thanks and Happy Teiiding,
Steve and Ramesh

Teiid Spring Boot 1.7.0 Released

Teiid Spring Boot version 1.7.0 to support Teiid 16.0 has been released. This release is mainly to support the Teiid's latest version.  In this release, the support for OpenAPI code generation based on VDB has been removed as there is no community interest and moreover it was at OpenAPI 2.0, and the industry has moved to 3.0 and beyond. There are no plans to further pursue this feature. VDB maven plugin was also removed, which was intended to be a replacement for the VDB importing feature was to be used when working on OpenShift, however, since it requires the Maven repository and does not completely represent the feature as defined on the WildFly based deployments this is also removed. You can still use the VDB import feature with Teiid Spring Boot, simply define the VDB with your "IMPORT DATABASE" statements and provide the additional files along with the main VDB file. During the start of the application, Teiid Spring Boot will load all the necessary DDL files for the

Expose Excel Data as OData feed using Teiid

For that matter you can expose any data source that is supported by Teiid through its translators as OData service. You can convert Relational databases XML, JSON, CSV files Web Services  Sales Force Excel documents sources, or write your on top of your specific source. Teiid added support for exposing its virtual database (VDB) as OData service without any additional work. Create a virtual database with your required sources and create any additional views and deploy in the the JBoss EAP 6.1 server, that has Teiid 8.3 or greater installed.  See https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/teiid84final/OData+Support  for more information. So, lets build a simple example of exposing the Excel Sheet. Teiid accesses Excel sheets via JDBC-ODBC bridge, and Windows OS provides a ODBC driver for Excel documents.  Edit the standalone-teiid.xml, and create Connection Factory jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};Dbq=c:\ODBC\ExcelData.xls odbc
