title: I am having Issues with data types not appearing in the data architect and would like to know what could be causing this
body: <p>The datatype char does not appear in the Data Architect for version 10. It now shows up as character. </p>
  
  <p>I cannot find anything in the documentation for this type.</p>
  
  <p>I have spent months developing a WCF Custom Adapter for the Advantage Database. Now I am getting data type exceptions because of the CHARACTER data type. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of any other undocumented modifcations to the MetaData?</p>
