Interface Elements Description
Migrate Constraints By default, the Migrate Constraints
option is selected. This enables you to
migrate constraint definitions defined
using the procedures defined in the
“Overview of foreign database constraint
definitions” section on page 280.
ROWID sub-section The ROWID sub-section groups
selections for specifying ROWID and
RECID. See the “ROWID sub-section of
MS SQL Server Conversion” section on
page 261 for more information.
Map to MSS Datetime Type Selected by default. Uncheck box to
map to datetime data types with time
zone components. For details, see
“DataServer for MS SQL Server support
for datetime data types” section on
page 76.
Create Shadow Columns MS SQL Server is case-insensitive by
default and, when used with a
case-insensitive code page, this box is
unmodifiable. When SQL Server is
configured with a case-sensitive code
page, this box is available for selection.
Selecting it provides case-insensitivity
compatible with the behavior of an
OpenEdge database.
Use revised sequence generator Select to enable revised generator and
to prevent lock timeouts. Clear this
option to retain older sequence
generator, particularly if SET-VALUE
sequence statement is used extensively
in your program.
Use Unicode Types Changes default code page to UTF-8
and directs the schema migration to
convert all character data types in
OpenEdge database to Unicode data
types.
Expand width (utf-8) Doubles the size of character fields
based on specified field width criteria.
