<p>The Teiid Connector Architecture (TCA) provides Teiid with a robust mechanism for integrating with external systems. The TCA defines a common client interface between Teiid and an external system that includes metadata as to what SQL constructs are supported for pushdown and the ability to import metadata from the external system.</p>
<p>A Translator is the heart of the TCA and acts as the bridge logic between Teiid and an external system, which is most commonly accessed through a JCA resource adapter. Refer to the Teiid Developers Guide for details on developing custom Translators and JCA resource adapters for use with Teiid.</p>
