[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIID-2850) Add options to support sql server variant type

Add options to support sql server variant type ---------------------------------------------- Key: TEIID-2850 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2850 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Misc. Connectors, Query Engine Reporter: Steven Hawkins Assignee: Steven Hawkins Fix For: 8.10 Due to a SQL Server driver issue, a variant column cannot be directly retrieved (it needs to be confirmed if this works with JTDS). A valid workaround is a native-query extension with an appropriate cast. Beyond that we could: - add an option for the translator to automatically convert to a string value - allow for converts from object to be pushed down.
