Project: Teiid Designer
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Modeling
Reporter: Steven Hawkins
As an alternative to multi-source models, Teiid supports updatable views defined as union
alls that serve the same purpose. It would be good if there was something that could
guide the user in creating a partitioned view layer. For example after source A and
source B have been imported (of course there could be more than two sources) there could
be a modeling option in the new model wizard that creates a view layer not from a single
source, but multiple sources. The views would be defined as select 'sourceA' as
source_name, ... from sourceA.tbl union all select 'sourceB' as source_name, ...
from sourceB.tbl. Obviously without a reconciliation step we would expect tables and
column names to match exactly.
Procedures are a special case and don't quite fit cleanly in this approach (or in
mulit-source logic either).
