The Teiid Team is very excited to announce the availability of Teiid 8.1-Final for JBoss AS 7.1.1 .  If you are working with Teiid 8.0, we highly recommend to migrate to 8.1-Final version, as we have about 100 issues resolved along with many new features. In Teiid 6.x versions, Teiid used to support a "embedded" version, this feature has been removed from 7.x versions, now it has been resurrected  with slightly different purpose. Teiid Embedded The main purpose of "Teiid Embedded" is to provide a data virtualization framework with full metadata definitions, query planning and query optimizations across multiple disparate sources with full query features minus any platform specific details such as external vdb deployments, connection management, clustering, authentications etc.  This provides a perfect environment to write a very specific data integration and virtualization needs in any vertical market for your application with out any JBoss AS specific dependencie...

Teiid 8.1 CR1 is now available for deployment on AS7 7.1.1-Final .

See the Developer's Guide for more. TEIID-2077 Result reuse - the engine will automatically detect if the same source query is used multiple times in a plan and reuse the result rather than issuing another query. TEIID-2113 Misc parser improvements - the parser will now accept the LATERAL keyword for defining a LATERAL join (previously we just used the TABLE keyword), unary negation is now supported e.g. -col1, the FOR keyword is optional for TEXTAGG, and the BNF documentation was dramatically improved. TEIID-2036 Dependent Join Array Comparison - platforms supporting array comparisons can have multi-attribute dependent joins pushed down as array comparisons. Oracle, PG, and ...

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 addre...
