Following https://community.jboss.org/wiki/MicrosoftExcelDocumentIntoRelationalTable (Option 1 using Teiid Designer), the imported model has the ROW_ID column modeled with datatype "integer", which results in BigInteger runtime datatype. After adding this model to a vdb and deploying, the following queries work ok:

SELECT * FROM Sheet1
SELECT * FROM Sheet1 WHERE row_id > 2

but the following query fails:

SELECT * FROM Sheet1 WHERE row_id = 2

The error is

org.teiid.runtime.client.TeiidClientException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Remote org.teiid.core.TeiidException: java.math.BigInteger cannot be cast to java.lang.Integer

After changing the datatype to "int : xs:long" and redeploying, the above query works as expected.

However, if I copy the generated dynamic vdb (attached) and deploy it on the server (without using Designer), running the query against that works.

The DDL for import is

SET NAMESPACE 'http://www.teiid.org/translator/excel/2014' AS teiid_excel;

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE Sheet1 (
	ROW_ID integer OPTIONS (SEARCHABLE 'All_Except_Like', "teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" 'ROW_ID'),
	FirstName string OPTIONS (SEARCHABLE 'Unsearchable', "teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" '1'),
	LastName string OPTIONS (SEARCHABLE 'Unsearchable', "teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" '2'),
	Age double OPTIONS (SEARCHABLE 'Unsearchable', "teiid_excel:CELL_NUMBER" '3'),
	CONSTRAINT PK0 PRIMARY KEY(ROW_ID)
) OPTIONS ("teiid_excel:FILE" 'names.xlsx', "teiid_excel:FIRST_DATA_ROW_NUMBER" '2');
