---------------------------------------------
Infer field metadata from the source columns
--------------------------------------------
Key: TEIID-5356
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-5356
Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: Query Engine
Reporter: Chandra Akkinepalli
Assignee: Steven Hawkins
Fix For: 11.0
This is an observation made in dynamic vdbs.
When a view is defined without column name , data type, length as in the example below
create view xyz as (
select a, b, c from view_model.example
);
instead of inferring the column metadata from view_model, the string columns are created
with length =4000, this is causing issues when querying such views from visualization
tools like Tableau, these fields are forced to be converted to text and failing in the
process.
I would like to request an enhancement for dynamic vdbs to infer metadata from sources in
such cases.
