Create a Data Type Mapping List

You use the Insert New Mapping feature in the Datatype Standards Editor to map a data type from one target server to another. You also use this feature to add a new data type.

To create a data type mapping list

1. In the Datatype Standards Editor, click Insert New Mapping on the Mapping menu.
2. Click the down arrow on the From list, and select the target server from which you want to map.
3. Click the down arrow on the To list and select a target server to which you want to map.

   The From and To columns are populated with the default mappings for the selected target servers. Notice that the data type row at the bottom of the list is blank.

4. Click in the blank cell at the bottom of the From list and enter a new data type name.
5. Click the blank cell at the bottom of the To list and select the data type that you want to assign from the drop-down list.
