Hi Ole, It will probably be hard to convince people to add the extra lists to the SDO specification. It was intentionally designed to have one simple list. Adding some methods in Tuscany (in class SDOUtil) to return just the dataType or non-dataType properties is possible, but as SDO is now being standardized and there are multiple implementations of it, it's really best to avoid using implementation-specific APIs, if possible.
getType().getProperties() returns all the properties (including from the base types) - it's like EMF's getEAllStructuralFeatures(). getType().getDeclaredProperties() returns just the locally defined properties - like EMF's getEStructuralFeatures().
