fieldType

The fieldType property specifies the data type of the item.

Valid values include:
  • TABLE_COLUMN: the value is defined in terms of a database column. Provide the sqlTabName, the name of the database table. Provide the colName, the name of the database column.
  • NON_DATABASE: the value is not defined in terms of a database column.
  • COLUMN_LIKE : the value is like NON_DATABASE, but takes its description from a database column.
  • TABLE_ALIAS: the value is defined in terms of an alias that is assigned to a database table.

There is not an explicitly-named FIELDTYPE attribute in Genero BDL. The field type is defined by the syntax of the entry in the ATTRIBUTES section. For related topics, search on ATTRIBUTES section in the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.
