No "Data Types" in combo box for database diagram?

[mh]

Hi.

i just installed EA Build 503 and am trying to model a database diagram (as described in the "Data Modelling" topic in help).

however, it seems that if i add a new column to a table object, the "Data Type" combobox is empty (and is in DropDownList mode, too, so i cant even manually enter a data type name).

what am i missing? do i need to import a list of known datatypes for the RDBM i'm targeting in some way?

thanx,
marc

Easy one this...

You have to select a Database type in the table first:
 Open Table Properties
 Make sure you're on the 'General' Tab
 Choose Database from 4th item down on the right

Now everything should be fine!

Has this changed from previous versions?  Did it used to be on the detail tab?  That's what the documentation says, and I quote
"
To set table properties

Double click on the table object in a diagram to access the properties dialog
Select the 2nd tab Table Detail
Set the database to the target DBMS
Optionally name the tablespace to insert into
Press OK to save changes
You may also go to the columns and operations dialogs from here, as well as generate DDL for this table.
"

Might what to update that.
