Allow query plans to be viewed within Designer without requiring that all bindings start successfully ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIIDDES-272 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIIDDES-272 Project: Teiid Designer Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Michael Walker Assignee: Barry LaFond Developers want to view query plans when designing their models. Unfortunately, there is no way to view the query plan without executing a VDB. Fortunately, VDBs can be executed within Designer, so the query plans can be viewed within SQLExplorer. However, if any connector binding fails to start for a given VDB running in Designer, then no query plans can be generated. Even if you use "OPTION PLANONLY", you will receive the error "connector binding X failed to start" and no plan will be generated. Query plans are valuable at design time, but we've required a runtime environment be fully available in order to view them. We should allow users to view query plans from within Designer, even when bindings fail to start, so long as "OPTION DEBUG" is used.
