The Theme table in the Guide database defines information about themes. A theme is information for a show episode that allows the episode to be associated with multiple genre-subgenre pairs, because genre-subgenre pairs can share the same T Theme ID field.
For example, you might want to identify a show as a movie that has both science fiction and action themes. Your application can give that movie a T Theme ID of 2, placed in the E Theme ID field of the Episode table. In the Theme table, the genre-subgenre pair Movie/Science Fiction and the genre-subgenre pair Movie/Action can both share that same T Theme ID of 2.
The Theme table contains the following fields.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| T Genre ID | Unique identifier for a genre associated with this theme. This field refers to an entry in the Genre table. |
| T Sub Genre ID | Unique identifier for a subgenre associated with this theme. This field refers to an entry in the Sub-Genre table. |
| T Theme ID | Internally generated unique identifier for this theme. |
