Automatically Generated Types

Certain data types should not be externally generated as they have special types or default values.

TDK has the capability to automatically detect some of these autogenerated types, such as the SQL Server timestamp type and appropriately configure the Default Value Generator.

It is important not to override this value at the table configuration level.

In cases where TDK does not automatically detect these types, you have the option to explicitly set the Default Value Generator using the following YAML configuration:

    transformations:
      - columns: ["empty_column"]
        params:
          type: default_value_generator
