Auto Mapping

Auto mapping is a feature specifically for ColumnMappings of DataFlows. It uses existing metadata from the repository to automatically match columns of source tables and sink table. Matching is fuzzy but names must not be too different.

DDL Generation

Some overviews support the generation of data definition language DDL. There are two options to chose from: 1. Preview the generated DDL 1. Save the generated DLL

For example: By clicking on the DDL button in the Repository Databases section all related DDLs are generated and shown in a popup.

DDL generation is either done for all objects or just the one selected. In addition, it always generates DDLs for all child objects (databases > schemas > tables).
