    Building dictionary from DDL for MSSQL is theoreticaly possible, although it will require non-trivial efforts. We will keep it as potential feature request for future consideration

    Some scanner technologies require the presence of a dictionary, which is built during the native data extraction from the data source. Populating the dictionary from a file necessitates a highly complex files structure, with numerous interdependencies. This complexity may lead to errors and inconsistencies that our product is not designed to detect and resolve.
