Type |
Specifies the transformation engine. This field controls the display of additional information and tabs. Types are defined in the extended model definition (XEM) attached to the model.

For more information about data types and SQL functions, see "Script/Data Type Category" and "Keyword category" in the DBMS Resource File Reference chapter of the Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner manual. |
