Notes

FieldType values must conform to SQL Server data types. The following data types are supported by SQL Server 2005 Notification Services:

bigint

float

real

tinyint

binary

int

smalldatetime

uniqueidentifier

bit

money

smallint

varbinary

char

nchar

smallmoney

varchar

datetime

nvarchar

sql_variant

xml

decimal

numeric

 

 

The text, ntext, and image data types are not supported because they cannot be used as values for parameters and variables in stored procedures. In addition, the timestamp data type is not supported. For more information about SQL Server data types, see Types de données (Moteur de base de données).

If using the xml data type with the XSLT content formatter, the content formatter might attempt to transform the XML data. To preserve the XML markup, set the content formatter's DisableEscaping argument to false.

If you update a FieldType element, updating the application deletes and re-creates the notification class to which it corresponds. This includes dropping and re-creating the SQL Server tables and indexes used by this notification class. Any data existing in the original notification class tables is permanently deleted.

Exemple

The following example shows how to specify a notification field data type of datetime.
