[teiid-designer-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIIDDES-2256) Confusing data type "integer" and "int"
[
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-2256?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu...
]
Barry LaFond updated TEIIDDES-2256:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: set-datatype-dialog.png
Screen cap of Set Datatype dialog changes include
* second column showing *Runtime Type*
* set hint on length spinner widget so it will show enough digits.
If user is searching for *integer* they'll see that it maps to *biginteger* and
hopefully select *int* instead.
Confusing data type "integer" and "int"
---------------------------------------
Key: TEIIDDES-2256
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-2256
Project: Teiid Designer
Issue Type: Enhancement
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: Import/Export
Affects Versions: 8.6
Reporter: Ramesh Reddy
Assignee: Paul Richardson
Fix For: 8.7, 8.6.1
Attachments: full-datatypes-1.png, full-datatypes-2.png, set-datatype-dialog.png
I understand that
"integer" maps to "xs:biginteger"
"int" maps "xs:long"
How they are confusing when there is already one available for biginteger. Also the Table
creation wizard does not provide option to to select "int". When user chooses
"integer" it often is "int".
This confusion needs to be resolved. IMO "integer" can be removed, however I am
not sure how it effects data type system
