Description of the sqlways.xml file

SQLWays.xml file is a project file that stores information about the objects that were specified for conversion in a current migration process. Project file is created automatically by SQLWays Wizard tool and is stored in the project directory that should be specified on the “Welcome” page of SQLWays Wizard tool.

Example of the sqlways.xml file with local and global data type mapping:

<?xml version="1.0" ?> 
<DatabaseInfo DatabaseName="TEST3" DbmsType="3" DbmsName="Adaptive Server Anywhere" DbmsVersion="09.00.0002" MajorDbmsVersion="9" MinorDbmsVersion="0"        DataDriverName="DBODBC9.DLL" DataDriverVersion="09.00.0002" ODBCVersion="03.52.0000">
 <SelectedObjects>
  <ResolvedDataTypes load="1">
    <DataType name="TEXT" type="LONG VARCHAR" length="2147483647" completeName="TEXT" target="VARCHAR" /> 
  </ResolvedDataTypes>
  <Tables load="1">
   <Table schema="CLAIMS" name="tb_claims" rows_search="" rows_search_using="0">
    <Columns>
     <Column name="col1" nullable="1" target="col12">
      <DataType name="INT" type="INTEGER" precision="10" minScale="0" maxScale="0" fixedPrecScale="No" completeName="INT" target="NUMERIC" /> 
     </Column>
    </Columns>
   </Table>
   <Table schema="CLAIMS" name="tb1" /> 
   <Table schema="CLAIMS" name="test1" /> 
   <Table schema="CLAIMS" name="test2" /> 
   <Table schema="DBA" name="APORTMAP" rows_search="" rows_search_using="0" /> 
  </Tables>
</SelectedObjects>
</DatabaseInfo>
