Teiid 8.2 CR1 Posted And More

We're closing in on our next release with Teiid 8.2 CR1 now available for deployment on AS7 7.1.1-Final. New features include: 
  • TEIID-2269 Vault Support - The transport's keystore and truststore passwords are now supported through vault based passwords.
  • TEIID-1064 Google Spreadsheet Support - there is now support for querying Google Spreadsheets via Teiid. See the Reference and Admin Guides for more.
  • TEIID-1241 WSDL backed WS Translator - a web services data source can be configured to access a single server and point based upon a specific WSDL.
In total we have addressed over 100 issues (which is now common for a point release). Please ensure that all of your issues have been addressed satisfactorily as we likely release a CR2 before proceeding to final.  

The new Google spreadsheet support, which was an excellent contribution from Red Hatter's Filip Nguyen and Filip Elias, will hopefully be broadened into other Google services over time.

We're also looking at numerous doc clean-ups especially to our examples and quick starts.  You can also assist with the docs via comments or since document editing moderation is turned on, you can submit changes directly.

And finally if you're using Designer or new to Teiid in general, community member Gioppo Luca has been working on tutorials using the latest Teiid Designer release version 7.8 with Teiid 8.1.

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
