Hi,

a.) We have a Natural system with several DDMs of type SQL that are used to communicate with SQL Server 2008.  
b.) Our Predict expert has retired.  
c.) We would like to incorporate these DDMs into Predict (to see what Construct will generate for us).

Is this incorporation possible? If so what is the external object type we are wanting to incorporate?

Thanks & Regards,

Willie

The answer is yes.  
I suggest you open a support request to get the answer. This might help others in the future as well when searching the support knowledge base and finding the answer (if it is not already available yet).

Kind regards
