[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (TEIID-871) Refactor system vdb

Refactor system vdb ------------------- Key: TEIID-871 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-871 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Query Engine Affects Versions: 7.0 Reporter: Steven Hawkins Assignee: Steven Hawkins Fix For: 7.0 1. We should remove the system physical model - it's undocumented, exposes too much metadata cruft, and requires too much logic in the index connector to support it. 2. We should remove System.datatypeelements and System.datatypeelementproperties - the transformations are invalid (they will always return no rows) and they are redundant 3. There should be a new system table ProcedureParamProperties that exposes annotations for procedure params. with System.element/datatype and the corresponding properties tables. 4. This one is open to debate, but I would also like to remove System.describe - since annotations are available directly on the appropriate type table, there doesn't seem to be a good reason to introduce a procedure that operates over all metadata records to return the same information. 5. The OA ODBC views should be moved into a separate vdb that can be optionally including along with the system vdb
