MSSQL 2008 sql_variant

Data Abstract
1

Do you support this field type? It doesn’t seem so. If not, is it possible to extend the tool to support it?

Thanks

Hello.

No, nowadays we doesn’t support sql_variant type. Appropriate issue is registered as #52459. Unfortunately, I can’t say exactly when it will be implemented.

Thanks.

Is there a way to extend the framework and provide my own implementation? For instance, in nhibernate (accessing a sql 2008R2 db) one can implement custom types to read/write memory tables or variants. They provide some interfaces and default implementations that can be extended, you register your own class using a specialized api to handle that type, your declare your type and from that point on and the framework sees that specific type it calls the methods implemented in your class.

Can the same be done with DA?

Thanks

Hello.

Unfortunately it isn’t possible to extend Data Abstract by supporting custom types like in nhibernate.

Thanks.
