A conformed table is a source table that is the same in several physical sources.
Typically this would be used when reference data exists in multiple sources, but only a single metadata entry is desired to represent the table.
Conformed tables are defined by adding the following extension metadata property to the appropriate source tables:
You can set extension properties in the DDL file by using full DDL metadata or alter statements,
or at runtime by using the setProperty system procedure.
The property is expected to be a comma separated list of physical model/schema names.
DDL alter example
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE "reference_data" OPTIONS (ADD "teiid_rel:conformed-sources" 'source2,source3');There is no expectation that a metadata entry exists on the other schemas.
The engine will take the list of conformed sources and associate a set of model metadata ids to the corresponding access node. The logic considering joins and subqueries will also consider the conformed sets when making pushdown decisions. The subquery handling will only check for conformed sources for the subquery — not in the parent. So having a conformed table in the subquery will pushdown as expected, but not vice versa.
