So we have a database table that has 100+ columns. But in Appian, record types have a limit of 100 when it comes to number of record fields. 
 Is creating a 2nd record type sourcing from the same table an appropriate solution for this?

Having more than 100 columns in a record is anyway a bad idea. I think creating a second record and&amp;nbsp;moving similar types of fields there, connected with the primary/base record using a record relationship (one-to-one) should be the right thing to do.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
