    Teiid Designer: Unable to import foreign keys from mysql db

    cjohn001

      Hello together,

      I am trying to import a mysql database scheme as datasource with Teiid designer. Unfortunately, the importer always throws a warning  of type=Problem "The uniqueKey is required". After import all imported foreign keys are marked as defect, i.e. the Package Diagram in Teiid Designer does not show the relationships, just a red cross in the foreign key icon.

       

      I am working with mysql 5.7 and 8.0 and tried  mysql 5.1.47 and 8.0.12 mysql drivers.  Has anybody experienced a similar situation and has a hint what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

       

      Best regards,

      Christoph

          Hello,

          I found the first part of the problem, however, this does not solve my problem. If a am using mysql 8.0, the syntax from mysql workbench uses the keyword VISIBLE for the index. TEIID seems to be unable to resolve the foreign key relationships in this case. Even so I use the older syntax for mysql 5.7, i.e. without VISIBLE, TEIID cannot correctly read the foreign keys.  Here is an example. First version works for TEIID with mysql 5.7 database, second does not. Both variants do not work with mysql 8.0. As I would like to work with mysql 8.0 I am wondering if someone has an idea how I can circumvent the situation?

           

          Is this a bug in TEIID designer and there is more trouble to expect if I go with mysql 8.0? Has someone experience using mysql 8.0 together with TEIID or should I better switch back to 5.7?

            Teiid uses JDBC driver to read the metadata, not DDL. So, I suggest you find the correct JDBC driver versions designed for 8.0 and try again.

              Hello Ramesh,

              I just double checked. I am using the latest jdbc driver together with the database. Mysql db version is 8.0.11 and the jdbc driver I am using is 8.0.12. Have you experience with using mysql v8 together with Teiid? I mean, is it known to be working?

               

              I have just seen that today mysql driver 8.0.13 came out. Just checked with this version, still does not work for me.  For each imported foreign key I get the error "The uniqueKey is required". However, I get this error irrespectiv of the flags in the database. Same behavior for foreign key with and without unique set.

                Nobody in the forum who is using a V8 mysql database with teiid designer?

                  Looks like MySQL 8 is brand new so usage might be low at this point. Also not everyone reads forums or care enough to answer

                   

                  As Steve suggested in another forum, have you tried using "Teiid Connection Importer" for importing rather than using JDBC Importer?

                    Hello Ramesh,

                    thanks for the feedback. I am currently trying the approach Steve suggested. However, I have not had success yet. When I go for the suggested route, I have to set a data source on Wildfly first. Seems a bug in eclipse is hitting me here as I do not get the option to provide the data source properties. According to the attached image

                     

                     

                    I miss editable fields in the lower table. My view looks like the following, and Data Soure Properties is not editable:

                     

                    I also tried to set up the data source via wildfly, also not successful yet. I have not found an answer to the question yet on how I have to setup the Security Domain.If it is empty, the connection also fails with

                    Unexpected HTTP response: 500

                    }

                    }

                     

                    Do you have a helpful hint for the Security Domain topic?

                      Make sure you have the server running and Admin connection is working correctly before using this option.

                        Well,

                        I used now the jdbc connection guide to create a data source. However, when I take the route via Import/Teiid Connection>>>Source Model I get the following error

                         

                         

                        VDB DEPLOYMENT ERRORS:

                         

                        TEIID60013 Duplicate Table Avatar

                         

                        Error deploying "importVDB" - please check the server log for more details.

                         

                        The deployment timeout can be increased on the previous page (Advanced tab), or check the server log for other errors.

                         

                         

                        And in the log file:

                        Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.jface".

                         

                        Looks like I stay with mysql 5 . 4 weeks trial and error now to get wildfly up with odata Gets time for some programming. With mysql5 I have wildfly now up and running. Do you have a helpful tutorial at hand, how I can configure teiid together with keycloak. I would like to have table read/write constraints based on a users group and also row based read/write constraints based on the users ID. I want to limit inserts and updates of a user to certain values. For example, if a user adds a comment in a comment table, this comment should include his ID as foreign key. Teiid than would need to check that his ID equals the ID of the foreign key he provided. Second example. If a user changes a row with config options. This row will include his foreign key. He should only be able to update or read this row if his ID matches the foreign key.

                          connections were active and admin connection did work. Was unfortunately not the issue.

                                Hello Ramesh,

                                I just run into the next issue. Maybe you have a hint here. When I build a vdb against mysql 5 I can deploy the vdb from eclipse without a problem. In the past I have just build a vdb.xml from the vdb and deployed it by copying it into my teiid docker container. I have no idea what I should have done different in the past. However, now the vdb still seems to be ok and can be deployed via Eclipse, but if I build a vdb.xml for deployment it has errors. The Teiid server gives the following error message:

                                One more question. is there a different option how I could deploy the vdb in my docker container, without going via the vdb.xml approach?

                                  I have just seen, that in my old vdb.xml no namespace was created. The following line and all teiid_mysql5 prefixes were not included in my old files. Can you tell me how I can disable the generation of this namespace?

                                   

                                   

                                  SET NAMESPACE 'http://www.teiid.org/ext/relational/2012' AS teiid_mysql5

                                    OK,

                                    I found the solution. I have used Teiid Designer against Teiid 11.2 instead of 9.0. This was my mistake. Against V9 things are like expected.
