[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2578?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIID-2578: ------------------------------------- Yes, these semantics are different. The way I am viewing this is, the act of restart/redpolying of the VDB or someone explicitly updating the schema, both are actions taken by the user. With this we are some what similar to other databases. They should work, the service is required so that we can tie a deployment artifact to the VDB. Since here there is no deployment of the VDB then that layer is not needed. I had to move some functionalities of other services around but it should work. I see the benefits of deployment and repository based vdbs, we need to articulate both positions in examples and documents to choose what is better for the user. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
