Chapter 12 Generating Other Models from an OOM
PowerDesigner supports object languages and conceptual data types. When you generate objects from an OOM to a CDM, the data types of the selected object language are translated into conceptual data types. PowerDesigner conceptual data types cannot be modified.
You can check the mappings between object language and conceptual data types from the object language, you have to expand the Settings category and click the DataTypes category to display the following values:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| BasicDataTypes | List of data types of the current object language and their equivalent conceptual data types. BasicDataTypes are the most common data types used |
| ConceptualDataTypes | List of conceptual data types with their equivalent data type in the current object language. They are the internal data types of PowerDesigner, and cannot be modified |
| AdditionalDataTypes | List of additional data types. Can be used to add or change data types of your own |
| DefaultDataType | Default data types used in an OOM |
For more information on data types, see section Data types category, in chapter Object Languages Reference Guide in the Advanced User Documentation.
