MongoDB: Remove the IDREF fields for the FK fields -------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIID-3040 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3040 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Enhancement Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Ramesh Reddy Assignee: Ramesh Reddy Fix For: 8.7.1, 8.9 TEIID-2958 has been working towards removing the IDREF fields from embedded documents. I see no reason to represent FK in the parent table with IDREF either. This will make the document model representation simple and aligns with how a typical developer would design. If the schema looks like {code} CREATE FOREIGN TABLE Customer ( id integer PRIMARY KEY, firstName string, lastName string, email_addr string, FORIEGN KEY (email_addr) REFERENCES Email(address) ); CREATE FOREIGN TABLE Email ( address string PRIMARY KEY, provider string ) OPTIONS ("teiid_mongo:MERGE" 'Customer'); {code} Currently Teiid writes the document as {code} Customer { "_id" : 1, "firstName" : "Ramesh", "lastName" : "Reddy", "email_addr" : DBRef("EMail", "abc(a)abc.com"), "EMail" : { "_id": "abc(a)abc.com", "provider" : "Comcast" } } {code} change to: {code} customer { "_id" : 1, "firstName" : "Ramesh", "lastName" : "Reddy", "email_addr" : "abc(a)abc.com", "EMail" : { "provider" : "Comcast" } } {code}
