Steven Hawkins resolved TEIID-5896.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Done
Added the extract targets for quarter and epoch. We already supported a quarter function,
so that didn't require any additional changes. An epoch function was added to support
microsecond precision (the same as pg and double won't support all the way to
nanoseconds).
enable EXTRACT EPOCH/QUARTER from timestamp
-------------------------------------------
Key: TEIID-5896
URL:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/TEIID-5896
Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: Grammar
Affects Versions: 12.3.1
Reporter: Ken Geis
Assignee: Steven Hawkins
Priority: Major
Fix For: 13.1
I am connecting to Teiid from Tableau using the JDBC driver and PostgreSQL dialect. I try
to drill into a timestamp field, and I get some complaints parsing the SQL. In particular,
it has trouble with:
{code:java}
EXTRACT(QUARTER FROM the_time)
EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM the_time)
{code}
The docs suggest these datetime components are not supported by Teiid. They are not
standard, but supporting them would get me a step closer to running Tableau against Teiid
(a killer app!)
I was able to work around the QUARTER by dismissing the error, drilling down to month,
dismissing the error again, then dragging the quarter out of my drill-down.
I worked around the EPOCH by moving a date difference from being calculated in Tableau to
calculating it in Teiid with TIMESTAMPDIFF.
An alternate I tried was using Tableau's SQL92 dialect, but it issues a "SELECT
TOP" clause that is not SQL92 standard and also not supported by Teiid.
