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.

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.
