OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Configuring the DataServer
5–20
You can select tables based on the object name, owner/library information, and qualifier.
For example, you can specify A* in the Object Name field to list all the tables whose
names begin with A or a.
Note: Progress Software Corporation recommends that you do not specify an entry that
consists exclusively of wild cards for each of the three entry fields in the dialog
box. An entry that consists exclusively of wild cards might degrade the
performance of the database when you perform a schema pull. (It will include
system catalog files from the data source not typically included in user databases.)
Check Default to OpenEdge DATETIME to automatically map MS SQL Server data
types to the associated OpenEdge data type. If you have modified your client application
to handle LOB data types, check Default to OpenEdge LOB to map the OpenEdge LOB
data type to MS SQL Server VARBINARY (MAX), IMAGE and FILESTREAM data types. For
more information on mapping OpenEdge and MS SQL Server data types, see the “Support
for OpenEdge ABL BLOB data type” section on page 2–30.
10. Choose OK. OpenEdge displays a list of the data source objects that you can include in
the schema holder, as shown:
If you specified all wild cards as your table-selection criteria, the list might also include
system-owned objects, which you do not have to include in the schema holder.
11. Click the option appropriate to the action you want to perform:
• Select Some — Displays the Select by Pattern Match dialog box on which you can
specify object information used to select objects.
• Deselect Some — Displays the Deselect by Pattern Match dialog box on which you
can specify object information used to deselect objects.
