ITableField.Size

Syntax

Size: Integer;

Description

The Size property determines total length of the field.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a table with the TABLE_S identifier.

Add links to the Dal, Db, and Metabase system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Table: ITable;
    Field: ITableField;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get table
    Table := MB.ItemById("TABLE_S").Edit As ITable;
    // Add a field
    Field := Table.Fields.Add;
    // Determine settings
    Field.DataType := DbDataType.Float;
    Field.Id := "NewFloat";
    Field.Name := "New real field";
    Field.Size := 10;
    Field.Precision := 3;
    (Table As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example, a new real field is created in the table. Field total length is 10 characters, number of decimal digits places is 3.
