Database Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a database property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Databases folder.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property	Description
Name	Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users.
Code	Specifies the technical name of the item, which is used for generating code or scripts.
Comment	Specifies a descriptive comment for the object.
Stereotype	Extends the semantics of an object derived from existing objects but specific to your needs. You can enter stereotypes directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in your model's resource file or in an extended model definition.
Server	Specifies the name of the server to which the database is deployed. Use the tools to the right of the list to create a server, browse the complete tree of available servers or view the properties of the selected server (see Servers (ILM)).
Type	Specifies the database type. You can choose between: Undefined – to represent any standard relational database. RepConnector – to represent a database which captures database changes in real time and deliver them in XML to message queues, that can be used by any supported message queuing system. UltraLite – to represent a relational database with synchronization features for small, mobile, and embedded devices (PDA, Pocket PC etc.). Types are specified in the extended model definitions (XEM) attached to the model. Click the Preview tab to view the generated code according to the type you selected.
