7.2. Guide View

In this section, we introduce the Guides View by walking through a simple example. For this example, we will follow the Model JDBC Source Action Set. The actions appear in the following order:

The action names are self explanatory. We will create a new Model Project in the workspace, then define our connection properties to a MySQL database. We will then connect to the database and import the metadata, creating a source model in Teiid Designer. Next we will preview the database contents. Finally we will define a VDB and then deploy it to a running JBoss Data Virtualization Server to execute.
