API improvements for custom connector development
-------------------------------------------------
Key: TEIID-851
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-851
Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Connector API
Affects Versions: 6.1.0
Reporter: Mark Drilling
Assignee: Steven Hawkins
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 7.0
I'm building a custom connector, and I was trying to figure out a way to get
information on whether or not a certain column in a Source Model is a Primary or Foreign
Key.
Here's an example of the code I've been trying:
MetadataID mdID = group.getMetadataID(); //group is an IGroup
String tableName = metadata.getObject(mdID).getNameInSource();
However, there doesn't appear to be a way to determine which column is Primary or
Foreign Key.
One thing I did notice playing around with the API, the MetadataObject contains a
TableRecordImpl object that contains all sorts of MetaData info. That class appears to
have tons of great info, along with getters and setters, including one called
getForeignKeyIDs. Don't know if there's maybe a reason it's abstracted such
that we can't get to it, but being able to get that and the other info out of that
object could be highly beneficial. Maybe this is something that could be added to the API
in the future?
