I have a quick question, what is the name of the TFS 2010 database

  • 0

I have a quick question, what is the name of the TFS 2010 database table that contains values for any custom fields.

I did a query against the TFS_Warehouse DB and the dbo.DimWorkItem table. However, I cannot find any of my custom work item fields under this table.

Can someone point me to the correct TFS 2010 table containing the custom field data? When I worked with Quality Center, the tables were pretty well defined so it was easy to do backend DB queries. TFS does not seem that intuitive.

Thanks

    look,
    you need to go to your collection database, and to check a table called something like Fields.
    there, you will find the new field properties and the type as well.

    you can change the type to string and to be reportable.

    go to the table of the WORKITEMLATEST, and check the field- you can see the name of the field like what was mentioned in the FIELDS table,.

    open your work item normally, edit that field information, click save…

    you can see your data updated in the WORKITEMLATEST table

    BUT…
    the problem is the STRING type is limited… I tried to add more text.. it keep telling me that number of character is over limit !
