Teiid 8.1 Beta1

By
Teiid 8.1 Beta1 is now available for deployment on AS7 7.1.1-Final. New features include: 
  • VDB Reuse a vdb.xml can now declare imported vdbs to reuse metadata.  See the Reference for more.
  • Comparable Object - the system property org.teiid.comparableObject can be set to use OBJECT values in comparison/sorting/grouping operations. It is expected that the object values correctly implement Comparable.compareTo.
  • Admin Metadata - you can now retrieve metadata in DDL from the admin api via the getSchema method.
  • Improved VDB loading - vdb loading logic was refined to make administration easier. ExecutionFactory now has is/setSourceRequiredForMetadata() to indicate whether a source connection is needed for the getMetadata call.
VDB reuse is a powerful feature that enables a lighter-weight approach to sharing schema/models across VDBs.  Design time support will come in a future Designer release.

Overall issue fixing has been brisk with 69 issues addressed so far.  We will likely have another Beta or two before locking down for the CR releases.

Thanks for all the community feedback on the Alphas!

Teiid Spring Boot 1.7.0 Released

By
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 ...

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.
