Teiid 6.2 Released, packed with new features

By
The Teiid project team is excited to announce the release of version 6.2.0 - available for download here. The 6.2 release adds significant features in ease of use and enterprise readiness. It's never been easier to integrate your disparate enterprise data sources.

Dynamic VDB

An often requested feature, with a dynamic VDB data can be integrated between multiple sources very quickly without explicitly constructing a VDB using Teiid Designer. Check out a new example (dynamicvdb-portfolio) in the Teiid download, and read this blog for more info.

Introducing Teiid Server

In the prior releases of Teiid only an embedded deployment mode was offered. This meant the Teiid instance could not be shared among multiple clients. Now with Teiid server, you can run a standalone Teiid process and connect remotely over a highly scalable and configurable socket transport. Look here for installation instructions and how to connect to a server.

Security

Multiple facets of security were added to help safe-guard your data.
  1. User Authentication: when enabled, users must be authenticated before they can access Teiid resources. You can configure a Teiid membership domain to plug into LDAP for authentication or use a simple file based authentication for development purposes. Visit identity support for more information.
  2. User Authorizations: access to Teiid can be controlled through specific grants of authorizations. These fall into two categories. "admin-roles" manage access to Teiid configuration and deployment. "data-roles" manage access to data exposed by a VDB. The latter is also called as "data entitlements", and can restrict data access up-to a "column" level. Visit managing authorizations for more information.
  3. SSL: when connecting to Teiid over the socket transport you can use SSL configured with your own certificates. See this.
  4. Encrypted Passwords: when defining data sources often the passwords are left in the clear text in the configuration files, Teiid provides a solution for encrypting them.
Logging

Logging has been bought under the management of Log4J. There are new logging contexts that allow you to capture SQL "commands" flowing through Teiid system and capture "audit" messages related to security and admin events. Learn more about how to manage logs here.

Admin Shell

Admin Shell is script based management tool for Teiid. Users can run Admin Shell in an interactive command line mode or script mode to connect, query and administer Teiid. Check out the Admin Shell Guide on documentation area and grab the binary in download area.

Many bugs, query constructs, and planning enhancements are also included in 6.2. Here is the complete list of changes. Take it for a test drive and let us now what you think.

Thank you

The Teiid Team.

Tech Tip: Teiid SQL Language MAKEDEP Hint Explained

By
In this article I will explain what a MAKEDEP hint is, how and when, why it should be used in Teiid. What: MAKEDEP is query hint.  When a query hint is defined in the SQL query it influences the Teiid query planner to optimize the query in a way that is driven by the user. MAKEDEP means "make this as a dependent join". What is a Dependent Join? For example if we have query like: SELECT * FROM X INNER JOIN Y ON X.PK = Y.FK Where the data for X, and Y are coming from two different sources like Oracle and WebService in Teiid, so in relational algebra you can represent above query as Here the result tuples from node X and node Y are being simultaneously fetched by Teiid query engine, then it joins the both the results inside Teiid engine based on the specified X.PK = Y.PK condition and returns the filtered resulted to the user. simple.. Now, what if, if X table has 5 rows and Y table has 100K rows? In order to do the JOIN naively Teiid need sto read all the 5

Teiid 8.11 Beta1 and 8.10.1 Released

By
Teiid 8.11 Beta1 is now available from the  downloads  and maven.  Feature highlights since Alpha2 include: TEIID-3434 More caching control over ttls in the result set cache down to the schema/table level. TEIID-3412 MS Access support via the UCanAccess driver. The UCanAccess support is necessary for those running on Java 1.8 as the JDBC ODBC bridge has been removed from the JRE. The waiting continues on EAP 6.4 Alpha1 - it still should be available shortly and should be the platform target for Teiid 8.11 Beta2. Of course, let us know if you find any issues with these early releases.  There's still plenty of time to get fixes into the final release. Teiid 8.10.1 is also available.  It addresses 5 important issues discovered since 8.10 was released: [ TEIID-3409 ] - PostgreSQLExecutionFactory TranslatorProperty annotation in wrong place [ TEIID-3437 ] - Inconsistencies with row count handling [ TEIID-3438 ] - Null value returned from BlobImpl
