    Are aren't able to create new attributes with a virtual data type. In most cases these attributes do things like associate the friendly name with a GUID value or the text value with the numeric value of an option set field.

    The 'Virtual' attributes are not physically stored in the database. Instead, they are derived when retrieving data, as per the examples given by Jason in the previous post
