Description BigAl 2004-02-17 09:28:17 UTC

When creating a new table in a connected database
(Runtime -> Database -> (Database Connection) +
Right click -> New Table) the number of data types
available is not sufficient for most database
systems. Data types such as 'TEXT' and 'LONG BLOB'
is missing. The Data type drop down could either
be made into an editable field where the user can
enter his/her own data types, or the component
could automatically get the available datatypes
when connecting the database and then display them
in the drop down.

This is partially a Database Explorer design problem. For the future I
propose to make the data type combo box editable so the user will be
able to enter the required data type name.

Workaround:
Use "Execute Command" action to write create table command manually.
