Custom elements you can add to our repository:

Adding columns to existing tables

When you add custom columns to our existing tables please make sure that they either:

  • Are nullable or
  • Have defined default value

Naming convention

Each element you add to the database MUST conform to the following simple naming convention - its name must start with "_".

Example:

  • Custom table: dbo._my_table
  • Custom column in existing table: dbo.modules._my_column

  • Names of existing tables, columns (and other elements)
