Fixing incomplete Data Type Map for Physical to Logical transformation of MySQL Physical Data Model in InfoSphere Data Architect (IDA)

Troubleshooting


Problem

Data Type Map for Physical to Logical transformation of MySQL Physical Data Model in IDA is incomplete: some data types either are missing or lack length/precision settings.

Symptom

  • Some data types of MySQL Physical Data Model get unexpectedly transformed into CHAR(10) during Physical to Logical transformation.


  • Output page of Transform To Logical Data Model wizard reports the following problems encountered during the transformation:

    "Attribute <COLUMN> - could not resolve data type <TYPE>. Using default data type."
    where <COLUMN> is the fully qualified name of a table column and <TYPE> is the data type which was transformed into CHAR(10).
  • When browsing the resulting Logical Data Model which was produced via Physical to Logical transformation of MySQL Physical Data Model, an attempt to open Type tab of Properties view for some attribute of an Entity raises java.lang.NumberFormatException.
