Notes
■■ Please note that after defining a field or column, the only element that can be changed later is the
field/column name. Changing the field type can cause incompatibility of data currently existing in the
field/column with newly specified properties. Therefore, to avoid this problem, the field/column type
is specified only once, while creating the extension.
