Creating Type Descriptors
Type descriptors inIBM® Unica Detect define the characteristics, format, and layout of data used in Detect. The type descriptor acts as a framework for the data, defining column names, the type of data for the column, whether the column allows a null value, whether the column is used as a key, and so on.
After you create a type descriptor, you can select it as the data type for data that can be stored in a Container, or manipulated by the Select and/or Join functions.
In a Container, the data type definition is associated with the data stored in the Container. In a Select or Join function, the data type definition is associated with the result of the function.
You use the Type Descriptors manager to create, edit, copy, and delete type descriptors.
