Convert XML data into Relational Table data using Teiid

In this article I will show how to convert XML data into relational form using Teiid using "XMLTABLE" SQL/XML function. XMLTABLE is defined in SQL/XML 2006 specification and is supported by most major databases like Oracle, DB2 etc. XMLTABLE functionality is introduced in Teiid 7.0. If you are already familiar with using this function it is no different in using it in Teiid.

Please see this WIKI article for complete information.

Generating XML data from the Relational Data:

If you need to produce the XML data Teiid provides various SQL/XML functions for that purpose too. Check out this article on the available SQL/XML functions. These are functions are also supported by Teiid.

In a future article, we will how show you how to use these SQL/XML functions and create a web service by just using the Teiid Designer and Teiid.

Tech Tip: Teiid SQL Language MAKEDEP Hint Explained

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
