VDB Builder - Next Generation Teiid Tooling Available

By

Next Generation of Teiid Designer

The Teiid Designer team has been developing a more versatile VDB editing tool called the VDB Builder.  The VDB Builder is a command line tool that allows creating, editing and managing dynamic VDBs and their contents.

This tool is a result of our on-going Komodo initiative to develop a non-Eclipse extensible VDB editing framework. We plan to continue building out this CLI to allow full editing of VDBs and data sources and eventually adding deployment capabilities. But it is currently limited to VDB creation and editing.

This framework is rooted in adapting a local embedded ModeShape repository which utilizes sequenced node structures modeled from the Teiid vdb-deployer.xsd schema definition and Teiid BNF.

Try It Out

You can start building your VDBs now by downloading and unzipping the first milestone kit from SourceForge!
You can view and checkout the source code here:  https://github.com/Teiid-Designer/komodo
Here are a couple of screen caps of initial welcome screen and showing the summary information for a VDB that was imported.






















Future Direction

Moving forward, we plan to refine and add capabilities to the framework that will allow for other UIs to be added such as Web and Eclipse. Contributions and thoughts are welcome!

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 ...

Teiid Spring Boot 1.5.0 Released

By
I am excited to announce that Teiid Spring Boot version 1.5.0 released today to the maven repository based on Teiid 14.0.0 release. If you have not used Teiid Spring Boot before, it is built on top Teiid Core libraries with developer simplification in mind. It simplifies the deployment model to a single VDB and provides you with executable binary rather than Server like WildFly where you need to deploy your VDBs. The release highlights are * Cassandra Data Source support * Materialization automation * Spring Boot version to 2.2.6 * Keystore/Truststore simplifications that work across the system * SOAP Data Source support * FTP Database Support * A Lot of changes to detect data sources based on their inclusion as dependencies and consistent naming schemes across both Teiid and Teiid Spring Boot. For a full list see this Take look at the various examples in Teiid Spring Boot and take it for test drive let me know if there are any issues or improvements you see. Ramesh...
