10.6. Using Multiple Importers
When you define the metadata import type for a model, you can also define a comma-separated list of importers. By doing so, you will ensure that all of the repository instances defined by import types are consulted in the order in which they have been defined. Here is an example:
<vdb name="{vdb-name}" version="1">
<model name="{model-name}" type="PHYSICAL">
<source name="AccountsDB" translator-name="oracle" connection-jndi-name="java:/oracleDS"/>
<metadata type="NATIVE,DDL">
**DDL Here**
</metadata>
</model>
</vdb>
In this model, the NATIVE importer is used first, then the DDL importer is used to add additional metadata to the NATIVE-imported metadata.
