McDBAttributeType Object
    
 
Description

McDBAttributeType objects define the characteristics of attribute instances (i.e. the McDBAttributes of an McDBNode) such as the data Type (e.g. string or long) and Name.

Remarks

McDBAttributeType instances usually exist in McDBAttributeTypes collections, each instance being associated with one or more discrete McDBNode attributes. McDBAttribute instances provide a definition and description of the underlying data attribute.
