Introduction <br> <br>This guide takes you through an introduction to the concepts important to Teiid, downloading the software, and building and deploying a virtual database in 60 minutes. There is a lot to cover, so let's begin\! <br>{info}{*}Further Reading* <br>Please read [Federation Basics|http://www.jboss.org/teiid/basics.html] to understand different terminologies used, resources needed, and artifacts to be generated before developing a successful application. This example takes advantage of only a minimal set of features in Teiid for the sake of simplicity and time.{info} <br>Commercial development support, production support, and training for Teiid is available through Red Hat. Teiid is a Professional Open Source project and a critical component of the JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform (EDS). <br> <br> <br>h2. What is Teiid <br> <br>Teiid is runtime for executing queries against a Virtual Database or VDB. Before you can access your data in a federated manner, user can use Teiid Designer or the Dynamic VDB feature to build a VDB. This picture shows the relationship between the tools involved. <br> <br> <br>h2. What is Virtual Database <br> <br>A Virtual Database (VDB) is an artifact that combines one or more physical data sources to provide for easy data integration. Integration is encapsulated through view and procedures that Teiid will process in an optimized way against their respective sources. The physical sources can be JDBC sources, delimited text files, spreadsheets, or even Web services. <br> <br>The Teiid Designer tool lets you define physical data sources by importing the required metadata (schema) from these sources. Once the metadata is imported, Designer can assist in building additional view layers. The collection of physical and view models will form a VDB <br> <br></td></tr>
