Teiid 8.4 CR1 Available

Teiid 8.4 CR1 for EAP 6.1.Alpha* is now available in our downloads.  The new features Beta2:
  • TEIID-2504 Improved socket results processing large results processing over a socket transport have been significantly improved for forward only results. Scrollable results will have only a marginal improvement.
  • TEIID-2427 TEIID-2311 Column Masking added column masking and refined row-based security. Also allow for permissions to be granted via the MetadataFactory methods addPermission and addColumnPermisison to enable adding roles via a MetadataRepository.

Additional web service security features and mongo connectivity have made it into 8.4 and will be fully doc'ed and in the release notes by the next CR/Final.

If needed we will produce a CR2 in approximately 10 days and will generally be selective about what issues get released before the Final. 

Beyond the 8.4 Final we now have the 8.4.1 and 8.5 release version targets active to take additional issues.

*And now more on the switch to EAP 6.1...

If you have any concerns about switching from AS to EAP first read: http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/faq

The most important take away is that EAP 6.1 Alpha is roughly the same as what AS 7.2 Final would have been - including licensing.  So don't be scared off by the name, version, or alpha designation.

Q: How does all this tie into the Teiid release schedule?

A: Teiid 8.4 and subsequent 8.x releases will be targeting the EAP line.  It is not clear however if there will be another public release of EAP off of the AS 7.x line. 

Q: Will subsequent Teiid 8.x releases remain compatible with EAP 6.1 Alpha (or whatever the latest public release is)?

A: Yes, until Wildfly 8 is released and a Teiid 9.0 is available targeting it at which point the community effort will track only the latest.  More than likely this implies both a Teiid 8.5 and 8.6.

Q: When will Teiid 9.0 be available?

A: That's not definitive.  Wildfly has its first alpha already available - http://www.wildfly.org/download/ and https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY targets the release in November.  That would put Teiid 9.0 tentatively at the beginning of 2014.

Teiid 8.11 Beta1 and 8.10.1 Released

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

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 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
