[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIID-3033) Importing metadata thru Designer versus using dynamic VDB is different

[Steven Hawkins (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3033?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12985385#comment-12985385 ] 

Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-3033:
---------------------------------------

I'm still not sure what change/fix is appropriate.  The metadata that the modeshape translator is providing in a dynamic case has not changed in a number of releases.  The only possibility for this to be viewed as a regression is from Designer's perspective.

The next point is that name "simplifying" for Teiid table names is a general feature and not specific to modeshape.  All of the teiid translators will report their metadata in the most straight-forward way possible.  The only provision we have along these lines is that the MetadataFactory can automatically correct column names that contain a period.  Otherwise there is no general routine - which would need to do quite a bit more than just replace semi-colon in the general case.

So I'm interpreting this issue as desiring a name simplifier somewhere - either Teiid or Designer.  Because you loose some of the ease of association with the source table name, introduce a greater chance for introducing name conflicts, etc., I haven't seen a need for that on the Teiid side.

> The columns names and NIS, imported via Designer, show that the column name is set as the NIS, and then converted (replace colon with underscore) to be used as the column name.   However, in the mode shape translator, this logic isn't being applied
