Teiid 8.4.Final Released, MongoDB support added

In keeping with our 3 month release window we are proud to announce our next time boxed release - Teiid 8.4.Final.

Here are top three (3) features:
  1. The deployment platform is upgraded to EAP 6.1 Alpha. You can also use EAP 6.1 Final, but you need a developer subscription from Redhat. For the difference between community and subscription version see http://www.redhat.com/products/jbossenterprisemiddleware/community-enterprise/. If you have concerns about switching from JBoss AS 7.1.1 to EAP please read http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/faq
  2. Pluggable row and column based security. Read more about it:  https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/teiid84final/Data+Roles
  3. Support for MongoDB. Use Teiid and its SQL language to access the data from MongoDB. This release includes a new MongoDB translator and resource adapter. Read more about it: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/teiid84final/MongoDB+Translator.  More blogs coming on this soon.
Here is complete run down of features in this release:
  • TEIID-2444 EAP Platform - the deployment platform for Teiid has been changed to EAP 6.1.Alpha1
  • TEIID-2429 Improved sort performance - improved sorts for large data sets especially under heavy load.
  • TEIID-2449 VDB Zips - added the ability to deploy non-Designer based vdb zip artifacts with the ability to place DDL outside of the VDB.xml via the DDL-FILE metadata repository.
  • TEIID-2423 TEIID-2470 Additional Embedded deployments - xml and zip vdb deployment options are available for Teiid Embedded.
  • TEIID-1092 Session Variables - added the teiid_session_set and teiid_session_get methods to maintain session variables.
  • TEIID-2326 Shared Mat Views - materialized views from imported vdbs will be reused rather than recreated in each importing vdb.
  • TEIID-2344 Automatic DB Version Detection - the JDBC translator database version property in most circumstances will not need to be set manually - see the compatibility note below.
  • TEIID-2453 STRING_AGG Added the string_agg aggregate function for concatenating binary and character strings.
  • 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.
  • TEIID-2507 Session scoped mat views - mat views can now be scoped to sessions via the cache hint, rather than to just the global scope.
  • TEIID-2329 MongoDB Support - added a mongodb translator/connector with a wide feature set including pushdown support for lobs, composite keys, and embedded joins. See the Reference for more.
We would like to thank our growing community for their participation in forums, JIRA and mailing list. Keep them coming. If you have a write up or a blog, let us know and we will link from the Teiid website.

If you have feature request let us know, we are actively developing Teiid 8.5 now, so speak up!

Thank you.

Ramesh & Steve.

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
