[Geoserver-devel] teradata community module

Hi all,

I would like to add a teradata community module. For those not familiar teradata is a full blown RDMBS with spatial support implementing the simple feature for SQL.

http://www.teradata.com/

There is currently work in GeoTools going on to develop a jdbc datastore for it. I would like to supplement that with a geoServer community module.

Thanks.

+1 of course

Out of curiosity, is the module going to be more than just the set of
dependencies?
Any new panel, init procedure and the like?

Cheers

For now it will just be dependencies… pretty much mirroring oracle with a profile to explicitly enable dependency on the jdbc driver since we can’t redistribute it.

Also the client funding the work has required that a teradata feature called “query banding” be utilized. Query banding is essentially just setting some key value pair on a connection or for a single query. The database then uses this to prioritize particular queries or others. One of the things they want to pass down is the authenticated user in goeserver if there is one. So I was thinking i would add something to the module for that as well.

Cheers
Andrea
