Title: Data Types in Data Model
Post by: abeljda on February 06, 2003, 10:56:21 am

I have just started using EA, and have created a data model, but haven't been able to assign a datatype to any of the attributes in the tables. There is nothing available in the drop down so I am sure I haven't set something up correctly. Any one have any insight? Thanks.

G'day,

For each table, set the "database" property.  Once your table knows what database product it's supposed to generate to, you'll be able to set the attributes to the datatypes supported by that database.

Search for "Table" in EA help.  Here's a snipet:
"A Table element has a special properties dialog with settings for database type and ...".
