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 Priority: Major Fix For: 11.0, 8.12.17.6_4 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.
