16.2. NATIVE

This is only applicable on source models (also default). When used, the metadata for the model is retrieved from the source database itself.

Example 16.1. Sample vdb.xml file

<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"></metadata>
    </model>
</vdb>

Note

If a user implements the getMetadata method on the ExecutionFactory class, NATIVE uses this method to retrieve the metadata from source.
