Hello!
I have a legacy DB and I want the application to use Aurelius on it, but I have a problem.
There is a field in the DB table that is char(1) and can have values "0" (zero), "+","-". The classes are already defined in the old version of the App (before Aurelius), so I wouldn't like to change the classes if possible.
I try to use this mapping
[Enumeration(TEnumMappingType.emChar, '0,+,-')]
TDocStockInfluence = (dsiNoInfluence, dsiIncrease, dsiDecrease);
myclass = class
...
[Column('STOCK_INFLUENCE')]
FStockInfluence: TDocStockInfluence;
...
But in run-time i get the error Enum mapped value "0" is invalid for type "emChar", I suppose the problem will be also for "+" and "-" character..?
Is possible to alter the enum to accept and character? I would suggest to allow any character to be used.
Why is zero not allowed? It's treated like a character, not a number in the application. Since there are around 200 databases, is very important to achive the goal without DB or class changes for compatibility with the old application.
