Configuration Files for Data Types

The requirements for configuration files containing data type definitions are:

• The files must use the naming convention name.dt

• The files must be located on the database search path. The default search path is:

  Personal data types—HomeDirectory/.dt/types

  System-wide data types—/etc/dt/appconfig/types/language

  Built-in data types—/usr/dt/appconfig/types/language. You should not use this directory.

  For information on modifying the database search path, see Setting the Value of a Search Path.
