Does teiid embedded supports geometry data types

[capoorhimanshu]

Hi ,

How teiid handles the geometry data types in some of the data bases like Oracle. Are they supported ?

As per my understand , teiid maps the underneath data types of sources with the java classes known as runt time data types to bring all the schema of underneath data sources to unified schecma.

In case if I want to introduce a new data type in teiid , are APIs available to do so ?

Thanks

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2384 exists to update and expand our handling of spatial types.

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2502 added translator handling for source Structs to be imported as a Serializable Struct or an Array.  If you want to use a different representation, then you would most likely want to handle that at the translator level by overriding the JDBCExcutionFactory.retrieveValue methods.  There is a concept of a user defined type, but it would still map to the Teiid object type as the runttime type system is not current extensible to custom types in a meaningful way.
