[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIID-1908) Add standard type names to DatabaseMetadata.getTypeInfo

[Steven Hawkins (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-1908?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Steven Hawkins resolved TEIID-1908.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Done


Added the type aliases as reported types.  If I'm reading the JRuby type_converter.rb correctly, this should allow it to select a single type for each of the ar types.

It also appears that much of the type info and the datatypes system table need updated.  That will be a task for Teiid 8.

> Some tooling, such as Rails, use type name for type mapping.  Our biginteger/bigdecimal types make this difficult since they are non-standard names and both map to numeric.
> It would be best if there were entries for decimal, tinyint, smallint, etc.
