Database Extension Data Type

Forums:

Hi,

I am pretty new to database extensions and took the Customization class at PSU this summer but I can not figure out what data type to use for a custom page that I want to link to a student alert that I am creating. I have a drop down menu with three options. What database extension type would I use? Boolean is only true or false. I want something that I can have different field values for, like on the demographics page for Race. Any suggestions? Please feel free to contact me. My email is kdunford@americanleadership.net.

Thanks!!

Sounds like a simple STRING type to me. You can specify the maximum length of the field and then use a drop down menu to populate the values.

Hope that helps.
