Custom properties (name - value pairs) read from the schema.

The numeric representation of the datatype.

Gets or sets the .NET type of the field.

Gets the DbType as string.

Gets the default sequence.

The default value for this field. It is represented in a string, since it's only used in the code generation process. If null, the field has no default value.

Gets / sets the direction

The name of the field.

Flag which signals if this field's value is retrieved using a function stored with the field in the database.

Flag which signals if this field has a foreign key (FK) constraint. By design, fields can have only one foreign key constraint, since more than one is semantically wrong.

Flag which signals if this field is an autonumber / identity field. On Oracle this means the field should get its value from a Sequence defined with the system.

Flag which signals if this field can contain NULL / is nullable.

Flag which signals if this field is part of the primary key (PK) of the IDBTable referenced by Parent.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this instance is resultset parameter.

Flag which signals if this field is a RowGUID field. Microsoft Specific.

Flag which signals if this field is a timestamp field.

Gets the length of the type of the target field.

Gets a value indicating whether the DbTypeAsNETType is set by an UDT (which is a CLR type). Necessary for saving/loading this type to/from a file.

The ordinal position of the instance of DBField in the table or view referenced by Parent OrdinalPosition is 1-based, which means the first field has OrdinalPosition 1.

Reference to the IProjectElementFieldMapTargetElement instance which reflects the table this IEntityFieldMapTargetElement instance belongs to.

Gets the precision of the type of the target field.

Flag to signal if this datatype requires a value specified in Insert queries. Not all RDBMS's require for each type a value, e.g. SqlServer doesn't require a value for Timestamp types, SqlServer will insert a value automatically.

Gets the scale of the type of the target field.

Defines the name of the catalog the User Defined Type is stored in if this datatype is a user-defined type. Only valid if IsOfUserDefinedType is true.

Defines the name of the User Defined Type if this datatype is a user-defined type. Only valid if IsOfUserDefinedType is true.

Defines the name of the owner of the User Defined Type if this datatype is a user-defined type. Only valid if IsOfUserDefinedType is true.
