Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIIDDES-2256:
----------------------------------------
[~blafond] I believe the
https://github.com/Teiid-Designer/teiid-designer/blob/master/plugins/org....
is defined wrong. The "integer" should be aliased to "biginteger" as
if you want keep "integer" alias, have a duplicate entry that is exactly same as
"int"
Going from runtime types to design times should be narrow in scope, there is no need for
additional user intervention as [~van.halbert] suggesting IMO. I agree with your
statement. But no matter how user assigns the type, if he/she selects "integer"
or "int" that needs to map to runtime type "integer"

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,
set-datatype-dialog_2.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
