models (maybe marked inactive)? If yes, we can create the VDB when we
create the associated Teiid server object. Then the deployed VDB
lifecycle would be the same as the Designer's Teiid server object.
Trick would be to make sure this deployed VDB exists the first time the
connection is established. Remember servers can be created without
connecting to them.<br>
<br>
BML - Have to check with Ramesh, but I think we have some flexibility<br><br>>
Can you query a model with a connector that is in a VDB that has
another model which doesn't have a connector? If yes, we can add/remove
models to the hidden VDB as models are created/removed in the workspace.<br>
> It would be much simpler for us to manage the local VDB and
redeploy it in its entirety each time a change is made but their might
be performance issues associated with that. But this might be the only
way to get the indexes updated.<br>
<br>
<br>
BML - We have two functionalities we are trying to provide here 1) Source Binding management and 2) Preview Data<br>
<br>
1) Source Binding management requires TEIID + VDB (CONNECTOR NAMES & MODEL REFERENCES)<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">- it does not require <span style="font-weight: bold;">MODELS</span> or INDEXES<br>
</div>
<br>
2) Preview Data requires VDB (INDEXES + CONNECTOR NAMES + SOURCE BINDING)<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">- it does not required <span style="font-weight: bold;">MODELS</span><br>
</div>
<br>
So, potentially, we could manage a "loose" hidden VDB. At no time does
it required MODELS (clarify with Ramesh). Source binding management
only requires the CONFIG.XML in the VDB contain "Source Binding" info.
Until a user actually executes Preview Data, we technically wouldn't
have to zip up the INDEXES with the VDB.<br>
