Description:
When manually creating a relation via the foreign key properties system does not maintain data types or warn about mismatch

How to repeat:
Create table 1 - col 1 int PK - col 2 int
create table 2 - col 1 varchar
create table 3 - col 2 datetime
edit table 1 and add identifying relation to table 2 on col 1
edit table 1 and add non relation to table 3 on col 2
no errors or warnings - would have expected relation to trigger update of object info on table 1 when relation created

Suggested fix:
none as using ERR to create relations hangs application

The matching datatype checking of FK columns is a feature of the SE edition. When using the OSS Edition you need manually check the matching datatypes.
