Any way to export database data types?
« on: February 23, 2011, 09:37:36 am »
We have added a number of custom database types via Settings->Database Datatypes... so we can make use of them in our schema diagram.

However, when we commit our schema to subversion, these types are not included in the xmi.  This means that before using the schema for the first time, one must create all the required custom data types before interacting with the document.

Is there any way to import/export these custom data types, either as part of the xmi or separately?

Thanks in advance,

These datatypes are stored as Reference Data in your model.  This information is not exported with XMI, but can be manually exported and import using the Import/Export Reference Data commands under the Tools menu.  See:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/8.0/projects_and_teams/exportrefdata.html

Database datatypes are included in the "Model Data Types - Code  and DDL" reference data item.
