[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIID-2285) Enhance Loopback Translator to retrieve custom data

[Ramesh Reddy (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12730932#comment-12730932 ] 

Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIID-2285:
-------------------------------------

You can already define metadata on a loopback, for that matter on any translator. You can even use native from source combined with below

{code}
    <model name="MarketData">
        <source name="text-connector" translator-name="loopback" />
         <metadata type="DDL"><![CDATA[
                CREATE FOREIGN TABLE G1 (e1 string, e2 integer);
        ]]> </metadata>
    </model>
{code}

As per the distinct data, we can make little more random for each row, but anything more we may be better off using a real db.

> Loopback Translator was identified as suitable way of testing Teiid engine performance. It would be nice if the Translator would mimic database behavior better in some aspects:
> * Possibility to define what data will be retrieved in the columns
> * Possibility of Unique data in column to mimic database generator
