It's not an issue of whether it can be addressed at the connector level (see the
response to Larry). It's a question of whether it's appropriate at the connector
level.

Subject: Re: [teiid-users] sql server time column
Is there anyway we can query the SQLServer for how it is basing the
time? If we can, can it be a connector capability?

Several changes in Teiid have made our old behavior of allowing users
to mark datatime columns from SQL Server/Sybase as time type in Teiid not work (it used to
only fail in some situations with prepared statements). The issue is that SQL Server
treats the default year for a time value as 1900 instead of 1970.
My preferred approach is to have users represent the source datetime as a timestamp in
Teiid (which is the default upon import), but perform type reconciliation in a virtual
model using the following expression - convert(timestampadd(SQL_TSI_YEAR, 70, <source
datatime>), time).
To ensure this doesn't harm performance I can add a rewrite rule to perform the
inversion of timestampadd.
Since it includes the time type, this isn't an issue with SQL Server 2008.
