Dynamic Server enables you to create extended data types to characterize data that cannot easily be represented with the built-in data types.

For more information about extended data types, see the IBM Informix: Database Design and Implementation Guide and IBM Informix: User-Defined Routines and Data Types Developer's Guide.
