[teiid-designer-dev] A new datatype

[Steven Hawkins]

Hello all,

What would be the impact in designer for adding a new type?  https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-1834 could be achieved by adding a varbinary type.  At the very least on the teiid side we'd update the DatatypeManager, the system vdb, and our type logic.  But I'm not clear what impact there would be design time.  Based upon the ease/difficulty of this we'll also be able to evaluate when it makes sense to add array type handling.
