    Odd Casting Exception

    dines

      Hi all.

       

      I am 100% sure I am doing something stupid here, but I cannot for the life of me see what.

       

      I have a very simple XLS-based table deployed in Teiid 11.2.2.:

       

      <model name="Inspections">
      <source connection-jndi-name="java:/Excel-Files" name="Inspections" translator-name="excel"/>
      <metadata type="DDL"><![CDATA[
      SET NAMESPACE 'http://www.teiid.org/translator/excel/2014' AS teiid_excel;
      
      CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ATEX_INSPECTIONS (
      ROW_ID integer OPTIONS("teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" 'ROW_ID'),
      FIELD string(10) OPTIONS("teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" '1'),
      TAG_NUMBER string(50) OPTIONS("teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" '2'),
      ATEX_INSPECTED boolean OPTIONS("teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" '3'),
      DateAdded timestamp OPTIONS("teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" '4'),
      DateModified timestamp OPTIONS("teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" '5')
      ) OPTIONS(NAMEINSOURCE 'Sheet1', UPDATABLE 'TRUE', "teiid_excel:FILE" 'InputFile.xls', "teiid_excel:FIRST_DATA_ROW_NUMBER" '2');
      

       

      I am able to do simple select and inserts into the table without issues. But if I attempt to use a WHERE clause, like this query

      UPDATE "Inspections"."ATEX_INSPECTIONS"
      SET ATEX_INSPECTED = 1
      WHERE TAG_NUMBER = 'SomeValue'
      ;
      

       

      Teiid returns the following exception:

      Why is Teiid attempting to convert strings to integers, and how do I prevent this behavior? Any hints would be appreciated!

       

      Best wishes

          The translator only knows how to compare against row_ids, thus it expects integers as comparison operands.

           

          When the default excel importer runs it marks all non-id columns as unsearchable to prevent predicate pushdown against them:

           

          TAG_NUMBER string(50) OPTIONS(SEARCHABLE 'Unsearchable', "teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" '2')

           

          You can add that SEARCHABLE option to each of your non-id columns.
