Hello all, I would like to propose adding additional reserved words. Some of which would be used immediately others would be place holders for future features and would help prevent users from using identifier names that will conflict. There is the potential for breaking existing vdbs though that use any of these words as an unqualified identifier. This includes: bigint - type alias for long decimal - type alias for bigdecimal real - type alias for real smallint - type alias for short tinyint - type alias for byte varchar - type alias for string call - to be used as a standard alternative to exec/execute a stored procedure extract function (to be added) targets: day hour minute month second timezone_hour timezone_minute year Other possible reserved words could include all of http://savage.net.au/SQL/sql-2003-2.bnf.html#reserved%20word. One minor issue is that the reserved word input conflicts with our "input" variable group used in update procedures. Since it wouldn't be used as a table reference, it would break existing vdbs, but the generated output strings for parsed commands would include input in double quotes. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ teiid-users mailing list teiid-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/teiid-users

From the earlier System.vdb changes, does Teiid still support "Groups"

So it sounds like there's agreement with adding additional reserved word. Including most if not all of SQL2003, SQL/XML, and SQL/MED. To resolve internal conflicts, I would propose that the system schema be renamed sys (this will also allow for an easier drop-in of a legacy system schema should a customer want it) and to deprecate the use of input as the input group name with the replacement of inputs (which is more consistent with the other plural group name variables). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Hawkins" <shawkins(a)redhat.com&gt; To: "teiid-dev" <teiid-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt;, "teiid-users" <teiid-users(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2010 10:19:34 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: additional reserved words for Teiid 7.0 Hello all, I would like to propose adding additional reserved words.
