Title: MySQL data types missing
Post by: Mike Buchan on January 08, 2010, 05:23:13 am

I am working on a system which involves a MySQL database.  I have been working the schema in EA.  However, I have run into some instances where I need a data type which is defined in MySQL but not in EA.  This means that I must manually modify the DDL to use the correct data type (MEDIUMBLOB is a major one for me).  

It would be nice if either all data types defined for a given data base were available in the combo box or the user is allows to type in a missing data type.
