Chapter 10. Custom Metadata Repository

Traditionally the metadata for a Virtual Database is built by Teiid Designer and supplied to the Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization engine through a VDB archive file. This VDB file contains the metadata files called INDEX files, that are then read by a specific instance of MetadataRepository by name INDEX.

In the Dynamic VDB scenario, currently there are three import types available: NATIVE, DDL and FILE.
