Here it is configured how empty values and null values are handled when
they are encountered in an import operation.
- Create empty elements for empty values
If this option is enabled an empty value from a database
column or from a text file will be imported as an empty element.
- Create empty elements for null values
If this option is enabled a null value from a database column
will be imported as an empty element.
- Add annotations for generated XML Schema
If checked, the generated XML Schema will contain an
annotation for each of the imported table's columns. The
documentation inside the annotation tag will contain the remarks
of the database columns (if available) and also information
about the conversion between the column type and the generated
XML Schema type.
The section Date/Time format specifies the format
used for importing date and time values from Excel spreadsheets or
database tables and in the generated XML schemas.
- Unformatted
- If this option is selected the date and time formats
specific to the database will be used for import. When importing
data from Excel a string representation of date or time
values will be used. The type used in the generated XML Schema
will be xs:string.
- XML Schema date format
- If this option is checked, the XML Schema specific format
ISO8601 will be used for imported date/time data
(yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss for datetime, yyyy-MM-dd for date and
HH:mm:ss for time). The types used in the generated XML Schema
will be xs:datetime, xs:date and xs:time.
- Custom format
- If this is selected, the user can define a custom format for date/time values or choose
from the predefined formats. A preview of the values is presented when a format is used.
The type used in the generated XML Schema is xs:string.
