Chapter 7: The <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> Tutorial<br />

Managing server attributes<br />

In <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Release 11, the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Microsoft</strong> <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> is enhanced to<br />

enable you to define <strong>for</strong>eign RDBMS constraint definitions within the meta schema of<br />

your <strong>OpenEdge</strong> database <strong>for</strong> use in migrating your database to a <strong>for</strong>eign data source.<br />

Once migrated to the <strong>for</strong>eign data source, constraint definitions can be pulled back into<br />

your <strong>OpenEdge</strong> schema holder.<br />

To achieve this, <strong>OpenEdge</strong> provides a submenu <strong>for</strong> the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Utilities <strong>for</strong><br />

creating constraint definitions. Figure 10 shows the <strong>Server</strong> Attributes submenu.<br />

Figure 10: <strong>Server</strong> Attributes submenu<br />

From the <strong>Server</strong> Attributes submenu, you can access dialog boxes that provide an<br />

interface to create, view, and maintain server attributes, and define constraint<br />

definitions applied to the data and indexes of the <strong>for</strong>eign database within your<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> schema holder. The dialog boxes accessed from the <strong>Server</strong> Attributes<br />

submenu are as follows:<br />

• View/Maintain Foreign constraint definitions — Use the View/Maintain<br />

Foreign Constraint Definitions dialog box, shown in Figure 11, to define and<br />

delete constraint definitions as well as view constraint definition properties.<br />
