OData $search support in Teiid vs Jboss Data Virtualization - jboss

I'm looking to use Salesforce to, using Odata, connect to Teiid+Wildfly, which in turn connects to SQL Server.
When I read the documentation for Teiid 13, under limitations, it says OData $search is not supported.
http://teiid.github.io/teiid-documents/13.0.x/content/client-dev/OData4_Support.html
The following feature limitations currently apply.
search is not supported
delta processing is not supported
data-aggregation extension to specification is not supported
$it usage is limited to only primitive collection properties
However when I read the documentation for Jboss Data Virtualization, under limitations, it doesn't list that $search is not supported.
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_data_virtualization/6.4/html/development_guide_volume_1_client_development/ch08s02
The following feature limitations apply:
Delta processing is not supported.
The data-aggregation extension to the specification is not supported."
Anyone know why there's a difference? Does the paid JBoss flavour have extra code allowing OData $search parameters?
Thanks in advance.

$search is not available in the JBoss Data Virtualization either, I would think it is a documentation issue.
The reason $search is not implemented as $search expected to works on all the content like cache search, which would be a very expensive operation in Teiid as it does not hold any content. I would think one needs an Elastic Search like backend integration to support for this where all the content is also cached.

Difference between jdbc driver and connectors

From what I understand, jdbc drivers provide interface to connect to database,read data,write data. But isn't informatica connectors also about the same thing i.e. connect to database,read data,write data. then what is the difference between the two?
The ODBC/JDBC drivers provide basic connectivity and features. Informatica dedicated connectors can take advantege of advanced features, e.g. bulk mode, truncates instead of deletetes, etc.
The most obvious difference really is the language that the drivers were written, Java and C, C++ and many other differences like those described in the link below:

How to use Solr on Postgresql and index a table

I am new to Solr with the specific need to crawl existing database table and generate results.
Any online example/tutorial so far only explains about you give documents and it gets indexed, but not any indication of how to do same on database.
Can anyone please explain steps how to achieve this ?
Links like this wiki shows everything with jdbc driver and mysql so I even doubt if Solr supports this with .NET or not. My tech boundries are in C# and Postgresql
You have stumpled over the included support for JDBC already, but you have to use the postgres JDBC driver. The example will be identical with the MySQL one, but you'll have to use the proper URL for postgres instead and reference the JDBC driver (which will depend on which Postgres JDBC driver you use).
jdbc:postgresql://localhost/test
This is a configuration option in Solr, and isn't related to .NET or other external dependencies.
However, the other option is to write the indexing code yourself, and this can often be a good solution as it makes it easier to pre-process the content and apply certain logic before storing content in Solr. For .NET you have Solrnet, a Solr client, that'll make it easy to both query from and submit documents to Solr.

Data virtualization with SQL Server DB using Marklogic

I would like to use data from a SQL Server database in Marklogic without moving it physically. I have read about data virtualization in Marklogic but cannot get any example or documentation explaining how to go about it. Please point me to any reference that may help me.
I have already tried reading data using MLSAM. Is this the only way and is this virtualization?
MarkLogic introduced the concept of Views to allow data visualization tools to connect to MarkLogic through ODBC, executing SQL against MarkLogic. These views are fed from XML content within MarkLogic through range indexes. So, I think that is the other way around for what you are looking for. In general, MarkLogic will need data inside its own databases, to allow indexing it.
MLSAM can be a way to pull such data in, executing SQL statements from within XQuery against external sources (contrary to xdmp:sql, which runs against the Views inside MarkLogic). Tools like RecordLoader, XQsync, and XMLSh might be worth looking at as well. See
http://developer.marklogic.com/code
HTH!

Experiences with PostgreSQL Java/JDBC Copy API for bulk inserts

With version 8.4 PostgreSQL finally integrated a proprietary API into their JDBC driver, which allows stream based inserts and selects. The so called Copy API grants access to COPY TO/COPY FROM SQL commands, which read text data from a stream/reader into one table at a time or write text data to a stream/writer from one table. Constraints and triggers are regarded for insert operations. Basic transformations (delimiter, quotation, null values etc.) are available. The performance gain is quite impressive, which probably is because of less object instantiation and a much simpler protocol between client and server backend.
Has anyone experiences with this API, good or bad. Is it production ready? Are there any pitfalls one has to be aware of? BTW: The fact that it is a proprietary API is a non-issue for me.
The COPY API is present in PostgreSQL C library for at least 6 years. It is very stable.
See: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/libpq-copy.html
and http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/sql-copy.html
JDBC implementation should have same properties, but I haven't used it.
PS. I think there is a misunderstanding when you call this "proprietary". Both protocol specification and server/client/driver source code is free (as in freedom).

Jira using enterprise architecture by OfBiz

The 'open for business project' is an enterprise framework.
It so happens Jira uses this, and I was pretty shocked at how much work is involved to pull data for a particular entity (say a issue/bug in Jira's case).
Imagine getting a list of all the issues, it has to first get all the columns (or properties) to display for the table column, then pull in the values for each. For an enterprise solution this sounds like a sub-optimal solution (but I understand how it adds flexibility).
You can read how its used in Jira practically: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Database+Schema
main site: http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/entity.html
I'm just confused as to how to list all issues. Meaning, what would the sql queries look like?
Its one thing to pull a single issue, but to get a list you have to do allot of work to get the values. I don't think it can be done with a singl query using joins now can it?
(Disclaimer: I work for Atlassian, but I'm not on the JIRA team)
OFBiz EE is just an abstraction layer for moving between database tables and fancy maps called GenericValues. It has no influence over the database schema itself. Your real issue here seems to be that JIRA's database schema is complicated.
The reason it's complicated is because it has to support a data model where an issue is an arbitrary collection of arbitrary fields, at some point in an arbitrary workflow. The fields themselves can be defined by third-party plugins. It's very hard to produce a friendly-looking RDBMS schema to fit this kind of dynamic data model, and JIRA tries as best it can.
You can get information directly out of the database if you want, the database schema is documented in the link above, or you can go up a layer or twelve of abstraction and talk through one of JIRAs many APIs.
A good place to ask questions about getting data out of JIRA is the forums on http://forums.atlassian.com/
The entity engine used in jira is a database abstraction layer ( with a very rich and easy to use API ) that connects your application with one or more datasources. But the databases are still relational, so you can use SQL if you want to. About the issue info you want to pull I'd say it wouldn't be very easy only with joins. I'd recommend you use the scripting language of the RDBMS ( i.e. PL/SQL, pgPL/SQL ).
