Schema – Geotechnical – New JSON Data Type [d21092]

Added new user-defined data type DBO.JSON_INFO with type VARCHAR(MAX) to the Geotech Schema. Fields intended to store information in JSON format will use this data type.

 

 


 

 

Schema – Geotechnical – Update Default Values for WORKFLOW_STATUS in DT_LOCATION and DT_FACILITY [d29325]

Updated the Geotechnical Schema default value of WORKFLOW_STATUS to be "NONE" in the DT_FACILITY and DT_LOCATION tables. Added an entry to the RT_WORKFLOW_STATUS table with a WORKFLOW_STATUS of 'NONE' and a name of "None/Unknown status". This replaces any user-defined default WORKFLOW_STATUS value.

To restore a default value, rerun equis.add_workflow for the table and the desired default. For example:
         exec equis.add_workflow 'dbo', 'dt_facility', 'mine';

See https://help.earthsoft.com/db-workflow-status.htm#workflow_storedprocedure for more information.
