Hi Barry

I have tested this tool with the samples(https://github.com/Teiid-Designer/teiid-designer-samples), it feels cool.

I have 2 aspects thoughts:

1. Can we simplify create DDL statement?
   Current the "create table TestTable(col1 string, col2 string)" be implemented by the following cli commands:

~~~
create Table TestTable
cd TestTable/
create column col1
create column col2
cd col1
set property datatypeName string
cd ../col2
set property datatypeName string
cd ../
~~~

>From users perspective, if the number of columns are a little bit larger, then perspectively execute 'create column' feels bored.

2. Can we merge the Admin Shell(http://teiid.jboss.org/tools/adminshell/) with VDB Builder tool
   aesh project are good at integrate with Groovy(https://github.com/aeshell/examples/tree/master/aesh-groovy is a example), we may register more commands to implement administration functions
just like Admin Shell.

Thanks
Kylin

The Teiid Designer project team is pleased to announce the availability of a new command line tool, the VDB Builder.

This tool is the first milestone in our on-going Komodo initiative to develop a non-Eclipse extensible VDB editing framework. We plan to continue building out this CLI to allow full editing of VDBs and data sources and eventually adding deployment capabilities.
