String-type annotations can't have a unit so if you have specified age as strings you will have to do something like what you have outlined above. Seems like a lot of work though. > Also, does the Annotation importer handle units yet? No, it assumes that all values are in the same unit as the default unit for the annotation type. /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ The BASE general discussion mailing list basedb-users@lists.sourceforge.net unsubscribe: send a mail with subject "unsubscribe" to basedb-users-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net
