    Teiid Designer 7.0 release provides the tooling to create, edit and manage Teiid 7.0 VDB artifacts.

     

    The basic modeling capabilities of Designer have not changed from 6.3. The way you manage VDB's, create and edit connections and how you test your VDB's has changed considerably.

     

    Some of the changed features include

    • Adoption of the Eclipse Data Tools Project for connection profile managment including replacement of our custom JDBC import driver management with DTP's functionality
    • Addition of a Teiid JDBC Connection Profile contribution which allows for ad-hoc querying of your deployed VDB's
    • Simplified VDB Editor
    • VDB execution now provided by VDB deployment to Teiid server and DTP ad-hoc query functionality

     

    This release also provided an opportunity refactor our code-base and begin nightly builds as well as cleaning up and removing a substantial amount of outdated and unnecessary legacy code.

    Give it a trial run using our quick-start guide.

     

    In addition to the following JIRA items addressed in 7.0, there was a substantial amount of code clean-up including removing most of our use of restricted Eclipse classes. This will simplify migration of Designer to new versions of Eclipse in follow-on releases.

     

    The Designer code-base also inherited a number of classes that had previously been required for both Teiid and Teiid Designer, but are now only needed by Designer. Taking this step allowed Teiid to become simpler to maintain and a much smaller footprint within Designer.
