Hi, This approach feels good. There are some troubles with editing the new schema. I think that good behaviour would be: - Boolean can always be switched into String - Not necessary to allow String->Boolean. Could be possible but should check that strings have only values which can be accepted as Boolean. - All numbers should be possible to cast to strings
I am not sure about other casts. What do you think about: - Cast strings into integer/long/double if they are just numbers, including strings with leading zeros - Cast integers into long/double - Cast long into double - Cast long into integer if values are not too big - Cast double into integer/long if values are all integers and values are not too big Check box for experimental data types feels acceptable -Jukka Rahkonen- ________________________________________ Michaël Michaud wrote: Hi all, I reverted the list of available AttributTypes in Schema Editor so that the only visible new types are Long and Boolean. It will take some times to handle these 2 new types correctly through all plugins. Of course, if some new types I've just deactivated are really wanted, we can discuss on the list how to add it without introducing bugs. My feeling is that such a change must be driven by true needs, and carefully added by developpers before it is made available to all through the UI.
