Database Interface (Entities)

This property (also known as the entity interface) determines how the data is mapped to the database.

The value can be an entity interface code or a reference to a Modeled Entity Interface. However, you can normally accept the default value and rely on Uniface and the DBMS to handle the way entities are stored.

Value

Description

EntityInterfaceCode

A code that represents a variety of information about the way data is stored in the database, including the character set and variable length fields.

You can construct the entity interface code by clicking the Details button (...) and use the resulting form.

@LIB::ModeledInterfaceName Reference to a Modeled Entity Interface.

Description

You only need to consider defining your own entity interfaces if you want to change the defaults, such the size, character set, and included entities. For more information, see Data Storage.

In this case, it may be useful to create a Modeled Entity Interface that can be used by multiple modeled entities.
