Field Element for EventClass/Schema (ADF)

Provides a location for defining one event class field.

Syntax

<EventClasses>
    <EventClass>
        ...
        <Schema>
            <Field>

Element Characteristics

Characteristic	Description
Data type	None.
Default value	None.
Occurrence	Required once or more per Schema element.
Updates	Can be added and deleted when updating the application.

Element Relationships

Relationship	Elements
Parent element	Schema Element for EventClass (ADF)
Child elements	FieldName Element for EventClass/Schema/Field (ADF) FieldType Element for EventClass/Schema/Field (ADF) FieldTypeMods Element for EventClass/Schema/Field (ADF)

Remarks

The Field element contains the field name, field type, and field type modifiers used when creating the event class table in the database.

Important

If you add or delete fields, updating the application deletes and re-creates the event class. This includes dropping and re-creating the SQL Server tables and indexes used by this event class. Any data existing in the original event class tables is permanently deleted.

Example

The following example shows the definition of a StockSymbol event field.

<Field>
    <FieldName>StockSymbol</FieldName>
    <FieldType>char(10)</FieldType>
    <FieldTypeMods>NOT NULL</FieldTypeMods>
</Field>
