Visual FoxPro and XML Schema Data Type Mapping

  • Articolo

The following tables describe the following default data type mappings between Visual FoxPro and XML schema data types:

  • XML Schema Primitive Data Types to Visual FoxPro Data Types

  • XML Schema Derived Types to Visual FoxPro Data Types

  • Visual FoxPro Data Types to XML Schema Definition (XSD) Data Types

  • XML Schema Definition (XSD) Data Types to Visual FoxPro Data Types

  • XML Data Reduced (XDR) Schema Data Types to Visual FoxPro Data Types

XML Schema Primitive Data Types to Visual FoxPro Data Types

XML data type Facets Description Visual FoxPro data type

anyURI

length, pattern, maxLength, minLength, enumeration, whiteSpace

Represents a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) as defined by RFC 2396. An anyURI value can be absolute or relative and might have an optional fragment identifier.

Memo. Visual FoxPro applies a hyperlink to a URI in a Memo.

base64Binary

length, pattern, maxLength, minLength, enumeration, whiteSpace

Represents base64-encoded arbitrary binary data. A base64Binary is the set of finite-length sequences of binary octets.

Memo (Binary), Varbinary or Blob

boolean

pattern, whiteSpace

Represents Boolean values, which are either true or false.

Logical

date

enumeration, pattern, minInclusive, minExclusive, maxInclusive, maxExclusive, whiteSpace

Represents a calendar date. The pattern for date is CCYY-MM-DD with an optional time zone indicator as allowed for dateTime.

Date

dateTime

enumeration, pattern, minInclusive, minExclusive, maxInclusive, maxExclusive, whiteSpace

Represents a specific instance of time.

The pattern for dateTime is CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss where CC represents the century, YY the year, MM the month, and DD the day, preceded by an optional leading negative (-) character to indicate a negative number. If the negative character is omitted, positive (+) is assumed. The T is the date/time separator and hh, mm, and ss represent hour, minute, and second respectively. Additional digits can be used to increase the precision of fractional seconds if desired. For example, the format ss.ss... with any number of digits after the decimal point is supported. The fractional seconds part is optional.

This representation may be immediately followed by a "Z" to indicate Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or to indicate the time zone. For example, the difference between the local time and Coordinated Universal Time, immediately followed by a sign, + or -, followed by the difference from UTC represented as hh:mm (minutes is required). If the time zone is included, both hours and minutes must be present.

DateTime

Represents duration of time. The pattern for duration is PnYnMnDTnHnMnS, where nY represents the number of years, nM the number of months, nD the number of days, T the date/time separator, nH the number of hours, nM the number of minutes, and nS the number of seconds.

For example, to indicate a duration of 1 year, 2 months, 3 days, 10 hours, and 30 minutes, you write: P1Y2M3DT10H30M. You could also indicate a duration of minus 120 days as -P120D.
