End users see this title when they review audit results. The default for this field is the value in the Table Name field.
Type
Valid types are:
| Interim | Table is used only temporarily |
| Seed Data | Table stores primarily setup data |
| Special Flexfield Data | Table is used by flexfields |
| Transaction Data | Table stores primarily transaction data. |
Enter the initial and next extent sizes in kilobytes for your table. You must enter values greater than 0.
% Free / % Used
You must enter a value between 1 and 100 per cent. You must enter a Percent Free value such that the sum of the Percent Used field and the Percent Free field is between 1 and 100.
Min Extents/Max Extents
Enter a value of 1 extent or more for the minimum extents value. Enter a maximum extents value that is greater or equal to the minimum extents value. You enter a low value for maximum extents to prevent fragmentation of your database table.
Auto Size
Indicate whether the table should be larger or smaller for different customer. If the Auto Size button is not checked, the table should have the same size for all customers. In general, seed data tables should have AutoSize = No.
| Indexes | Choose this button to open the Indexes window where you identify an application index, give it a name, describe its purpose, and specify default parameters |
| Primary Keys | Choose this button to open the Primary Keys window where you specify your primary keys. |
| Foreign Keys | Choose this button to open the Foreign Keys window where you define your foreign keys. |
Choose the detail window which you want to update: Indexes, Primary Keys, or Foreign Keys.
Enter the order of the column in the table. For example, the first column in the table can have Sequence=1.
User Column Name
End users see this title when they review audit results. The default for this field is the value in the Column Name field.
Column Type
Valid types are:
Width
You cannot enter this field if your column is Type Date, Long, Long Raw, MLS Label, Raw, Raw MLS Label, or Rowid.
You can enter different values depending on the column type. For type Character, you must enter a value between 1 and 256. For type Number, you must enter a value between 1 and 40. For type Raw, you must enter a value between 1 and 256. You cannot change the value for types Date, Long and Long Raw.
The default for this field is 30 for Types Character, Varchar, and Varchar2; 7 for Type Date; 22 for Type Number; 240 for Type Raw; and 0 for Types Long, Long Raw, Row ID, MLS Label, and Raw MLS Label. You cannot enter 0 for any other type.
This field corresponds exactly to the LENGTH column in the ORACLE data dictionary.
Precision
Enter the length of numbers past the decimal point at which you want to calculate the number for this field. This field is enabled only if your column is type Number. You must enter a value between 1 and 40. For all other column types, the value is NULL.
Scale
Enter the scale of the column. You can only enter this field only if your column is type Number. You must enter a value between -40 and 40. For all other column types, the value is NULL.
Default Value
Enter the value which the ODF Comparison Utility should use before altering the column to NOT NULL. The ODF Comparison Utility makes a statement like:
update t set c = <expression you enter here>;
The default is 0 is Type is Number, 'N' if Type is Character, and sysdate if Type is Date.
This value is usually a constant; you can also use an expression. When you enter the value in the form, or when you generate the ODF file, the expression is not evaluated. The ODF Comparison Utility will just use whatever value you supply here, and evaluate it at the customer site.
So for dates, if you do not use sysdate, you should include todate :
todate('01-03-1992','MM-DD-YYYY') not 01-03-1992And for strings, you have to include quotes:
'ABC' not ABC
Translate
Indicate whether the values in this database column can be translated. You can enter this field only if this column is defined as type Character, Varchar, or Varchar2. You should not identify a column as translatable if it is either a primary key or a DataMerge key.
Initial Extent / Next Extent
Enter the initial and next extent sizes in kilobytes for your table. You must enter values greater than 0.
% Free
Enter the percent free value for your table. You must enter a value between 1 and 100 per cent.
Initial Transactions
Enter the initial number of transaction entries that are allocated within each block. You must enter a value between 1 and 255.
Max Transactions
Enter the maximum number of transactions that may update a data block concurrently. You must enter a value between 1 and 255.
AutoSize
Indicate whether the index should be larger or smaller for different customers. In general, seed data tables should have AutoSize unchecked.
Valid types are Developer and Alternate. You can define only one Developer primary key per table.
Enter the order of the column in the primary key.
The default value for this field is 1 or the last highest sequence number for this primary key.
Name
You can pick any column in your table that has type Number, Character or Date. You cannot choose a column of any other type, such as Long or Long Raw.
Cascade Behavior
This field supports functionality to be implemented in a future release.
Choose the type of cascade delete behavior for this foreign key. You use this field to specify what to do to a foreign key table when you delete rows from the primary key table. Valid types are Delete, Update, Check Parent and None.
Delete means that you delete rows in the foreign key table when you delete rows in the primary key table.
Update means that you update rows in the foreign key table using Cascade Values in the next zone whenever you delete rows in the primary key table.
Check Parent means that you do not delete rows in the primary key table if there are rows in the foreign key table that still reference the rows in the primary key table.
None means that you can delete rows in the primary key table without consideration for rows in the foreign key table.
Foreign Key Relation
Enter the type of foreign key relationship between the foreign key table and the primary key table. Valid types are Tight and Loose. DataMerge assumes that if a table has multiple "parent" tables, that only one of them is Tight and the others are Loose.
The default value for this field is Tight.
Condition
If you are entering a conditional foreign key, enter the WHERE clause for the condition. You can use the "&table" token in your WHERE clause to identify the current table. Applications DBA automatically replaces the "&table" token in SQL statements with the actual name of your table when it generates SQL statements that use conditional foreign keys.
Primary Key
Name
Enter the name of the primary key in the primary key table to which your foreign key points.
Enter the application name that owns the primary key table to which your foreign key points.
This field supports functionality to be implemented in a future release.
You can only enter a value in this field if your foreign key's behavior is Update.
