Hi,
I'm doing development base on dtp connectivity. I want to add char
with "char semantic length" as a predefined data type integrated in dtp.
After looking into the dtp code, I found this predefined data types
definitions place in some XMI file, and object creation codes are hard
coded in DatabaseDefinitionImpl. It looks like that there no extension
point here to add new predefeined data type support.

Could someone here can tell me how to add this predefined data type
with DatabaseDefinitionImpl?

Thanks,
Sul

Hi Sul,

are you adding support for a new vendor database? or is the new datatype
something you find missing in the DTP support for existing vendors?

thanks,

Hi Hemant,

I encounter this problem when i want to add char-semantic length support
for database. Finally i use the displayNameSupported attribute of
CHARACTER[in database definition xmi] to do it.

Hi Sul,

great. yes, the "displayNameSupported" should do the trick.

thanks,
