[jira] [Commented] (METAMODEL-52) Expose MetaModel DataContexts through a JDBC compliant Driver

["David Morales (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METAMODEL-52?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14188556#comment-14188556 ] 

David Morales commented on METAMODEL-52:
----------------------------------------

Very interesting topic¡ Presto has already a similar feature, managing catalogs so that you can connect to different data stores.

http://prestodb.io/docs/current/installation/jdbc.html

And it will be quite useful in order to connect metamodel to BI / ETL tools (pentaho?)

> Maybe a wild idea, but one that tickles my curiousity: Would it make sense to build a JDBC driver that allows exposing DataContexts as if they are normal relational databases. Since we now have a SQL parser in place and also have a solid metadata API, we should be able to quite easily adapt to the JDBC API.
> Although I don't particularly like the JDBC API, it would make MetaModel very accessible for everyone who already knows JDBC. That way we can immediately offer connectivity to all of our datastores through a wellknown API. (And hopefully over time those users will start being more interested in the native MetaModel API).
