Chapter 6 - Generating Type Trees
Using mtsmaker
This chapter discusses using the mtsmaker application to generate type trees.
Overview
The mtsmaker application helps generate type trees for a query, table, view, or
stored procedure when you do not have connectivity between the Database
Interface Designer and your non-Windows database.
Use mtsmaker to produce type tree script files (.mts) on your non-Windows
database host system that you will subsequently transfer to your development PC
in binary mode.
On your development PC, run the Type Tree Maker using the transferred tree
script file as input. The Type Tree Maker generates the type tree for you. The
following diagram illustrates this entire process using mtsmaker, beginning with
transferring the tree script file to your development PC and ending with running
Type Tree Maker to create your type tree (.mtt).
