The physical column element corresponds to the physical column object in the Physical layer. The physical column tag includes the following attributes: Table 14–8 Physical Column Tag Attributes Attribute Name Description extName The external name for the physical column. This attribute is required if the same name such as STATE is used in multiple hierarchies. This attribute is optional for XML documents.

This option is called Type in the Physical Column dialog in the Administration Tool. nullable If set to true, indicates that null values are allowed for the column. This allows null values to be returned to the user, which is expected with certain functions and with outer joins.

Indicates the cardinality of the value of the column.
