Hello,
I would like to use PowerDesigner to reverse engineer tables from Teradata v15. I have customized the Teradata .xdb to allow for object length of 128, but the truncation continues to occur.
Learned recently that when Teradata extended the object limit from 30 to 128, they created a whole new set of dictionary tables which have a "V" suffix. So DBC.ColumnsV and DBC.TablesV replaced the DBC.Columns and DBC.Tables respectively. Unfortunately, both still exist. We have a theory that PowerDesigner is reading from the legacy views and because of this, only reflecting the first 30 characters of tables and columns.
Can someone verify this? Is there any way to modify which dictionary tables PowerDesigner is reading from?
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
