[teiid-designer-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIIDDES-2256) Confusing data type "integer" and "int"

Barry LaFond commented on TEIIDDES-2256:
----------------------------------------
Does it makes more sense to remove the *namespace" from the Base Type labels? and
maybe add a 3rd column called "Root Type"
So table would have 3 columns, *Design Time Type* | *Runtime Type* | *Root Type*
Confusing data type "integer" and "int"

Key: TEIIDDES-2256
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-2256
Project: Teiid Designer
Issue Type: Enhancement
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: Import/Export
Affects Versions: 8.6
Reporter: Ramesh Reddy
Assignee: Paul Richardson
Fix For: 8.7, 8.6.1
Attachments: full-datatypes-1.png, full-datatypes-2.png, set-datatype-dialog.png
I understand that
"integer" maps to "xs:biginteger"
"int" maps "xs:long"
How they are confusing when there is already one available for biginteger. Also the Table
creation wizard does not provide option to to select "int". When user chooses
"integer" it often is "int".
This confusion needs to be resolved. IMO "integer" can be removed, however I am
not sure how it effects data type system
