Online Documentation for SQL Administrator for SQL Server
Data Types
The Data Types section of the Database Explorer is used for managing data types in the selected database.
Use the context menu to:
create a new data type
edit the selected data type(s)
drop selected data type(s)
- rename the selected data type
- create the object copy on the same server
- clone the object copy to another server
create and print the report
The list displays the existing database data types as a grid with the following columns: Schema, Name, Type, System, Base Type Not NULL, Assembly Class, Assembly, Description. If more convenient, you can change the order of the columns by dragging their headers horizontally. See the Working with grid section of the SQL Administrator documentation to find out operations that can be performed with the grid.
To open a Data type in the Data Type Editor, double-click it in the grid. Alternatively, you can right-click the data type alias and select the Edit context menu item.
