Teiid provides the means (i.e., Translators and JEE connectors ) to access a variety of types of data sources. The types of data sources that can be accessed are:

1. Databases
   • Oracle
   • PostgreSQL
   • MySQL
   • DB2
   • Microsoft SQL Server
   • Sybase
   • Amazon Simple DB
   • Apache Cassandra DB
   • Microsoft Access
   • Derby
   • Greenplum
   • H2
   • HSQL
   • Ingres (Ingres93)
   • Informix
   • MetaMatrix
   • Teradata
   • Generic ANSI SQL
2. Big Data / No SQL / Search Engines / JCR and Other Sources
   • Hive / Hadoop
   • Apache SOLR
   • [Mongo DB|MongoDB
   • ModeShape JCR Repository
   • Netezza data warehouse appliance
   • Mondrian OLAP
3. Enterprise Systems
   • SalesForce
   • SAP Netweaver
4. Object Sources
   • JDG / Infinispan
   • Intersystems Cache Object Database
   • JPA sources
5. LDAP Translator
   • RedHat Directory Server
   • Active Directory
6. Files
   • Delimited / Fixed width
   • XML
   • Excel
   • Google Spreadsheet

This represents data sources that have been validated to work using the available translators and connectors. However, this does not preclude a new data source from working. It can be as easy as extending an existing translator in order to adapt capabilities, to creating a new translator using the Translator Development extensions.
