Define a computed column

Kindler Chase 10 år siden • opdateret af anonymous 10 år siden • 1
Is there a way to create a computed column, specifically for SQL Server? ex:

create table Entries
(
    Id int identity (1,1) not null,
    Process varchar(50) not null,
    ProcessDate datetime not null,
    Date as convert(date, ProcessDate),
    Time as convert(time, ProcessDate)
)

The last 2 columns are computed and I'd like to be able to define them with Vertabelo. Is that possible? If not, I'd like to suggest it as a feature.

Well, you can define do this, but not straight. In "Table properties" you have a section called "Additional SQL scripts." You can add "After create table" statement like this:
ALTER TABLE Entries 
DROP COLUMN Date;

ALTER TABLE Entries
ADD Date AS convert(date, ProcessDate);

This way you'll have both visual representation on the diagram and the proper behavior (a computed column).
I know it's a kind of workaround but adding tons of options like this to our UI would make Vertabelo unusable.
