Use national char types
By default, the database creation / update scripts will generate column using standard char types. If this option is set, the scripts will produce columns using national char types. For example, with an Oracle® database, the column types will be CHAR or VARCHAR2 when the option is not selected, and NCHAR, NVARCHAR2 when the option is selected.
Populate database with sample data
Add statements in the script to add sample data to the database.
Drop backup tables
The database creation / update scripts will create backup tables for tables updated by the script. If this option is set, the backup tables are deleted when the script has finished executing and the tables are updated.
