Vertica 9+ compatibility plugin for pentaho-kettle
An plugin for Pentaho kettle (PDI) providing support for modern versions of Vertica. Tested with Vertica 9.
The plugin is built against the most recent versions of Kettle 6.x, 7.x and 8.x.
Grab the latest release from the releases page. You can also get the plugin zip as a maven dependency from maven central.
Decompress the release zip to <kettle-dir>/plugins and restart Spoon. The "Vertica 9+" database type will appear in the "Database Connection" dialogs. You still need to supply your own JDBC driver for vertica.
The plugin is tested with the official vertica 9 jdbc drivers.
Official Vertica support in kettle has not been updated in a while. Among other things, this plugin fixes the following issues:
- PDI-7769 - Vertica: Database Explorer shows views in the schema tree instead of the view tree
- PDI-10234 - Vertica database logging does not log time information (In fact, the issue is more severe: time is always truncated in DATETIME inserts.)
- PDI-13018 - lazy conversion for vertica table input does not work
- PDI-12040 - Getting data of TIME type from Vertica DB (or sending to Vertica DB) is failed with the errors from Vertica JDBC
- PDI-16462 - Support for Vertica 8 (Sort of, the plugin is tested against Vertica 9. If anybody wants to try on 8, there's a good chance it's going to work just fine.)
Just open issues on github.
mvn clean packageIt creates the plugin zip in target/vertica-9-for-pentaho-kettle-{version}-plugin.zip.
