Chapter 3. Introduction to Teiid Designer

3.1. Why Use Teiid Designer?

Teiid Designer allows you map data sources to target formats. It also lets you do the following:
  • resolve semantic differences
  • create virtual data structures at a physical or logical level
  • use declarative interfaces to integrate, aggregate, and transform the data on its way from source to target formats which is compatible and optimized for consumption by your applications
It allows you to abstract the structure of the information you use in your applications from the underlying physical data structures. With Teiid Designer, data services are defined quickly, the resulting artifacts are easy to maintain and reuse, and all the valuable work and related metadata are saved for later reference.
You can also use Teiid Designer to integrate multiple sources, and access them using these common data access standards:
  • Web Services/SOAP/XML
  • JDBC/SQL
  • ODBC/SQL
