It would help with refactoring (on your delete example).<br><br>As far as your side-note, the "Refactoring" framework in Designer has always been "weak" at best. We've always envisioned a framework that allowed "Preview the Changes" similar to what Java/Eclipse. In some cases, of course, we'll need user-interaction to make decisions and can't be derived.<br><br>Barry<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "John Verhaeg" <jverhaeg@redhat.com><br>To: "Barry Lafond" <blafond@redhat.com><br>Cc: "teiid-designer-dev" <teiid-designer-dev@lists.jboss.org><br>Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 2:21:57 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central<br>Subject: Re: [teiid-designer-dev] Materialized Views<br><br><br><div><div>On Jul 13, 2010, at 2:06 PM, Barry Lafond wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"><div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Would the Materialized Physical table be just an "EReference of somekind?

Seems like if there is a corresponding model in one or more VDBs, we ought to ask the user whether they want to rename the models within those, too. Impact would be we'd need to create a new VDB instance for all VDBs in the workspace during a rename to query their contents.</div><br><div>
