Documentum DQL Queries

I know this page was not organized properly for a long time and it was hard for the users to get the most  out of this page. So I thought of revamping the layout of this page and make it more users friendly. What I am doing here is moving the queries into various groups.
Please note that these examples are meant only to give you a head-start on the basic DQL syntax. For more information on DQL please refer to Content Server DQL Reference guide

Object type Modification

These scripts illustrates how to modify a Object type using DQL

CREATE TYPE "mycustomtype" (firstname string(64),

                      country string(64) ,

                      age int,

                      height double,

                      phone string(10) REPEATING)

  object_name = 'new_name'

WHERE

  object_name = 'old_name'
