RTblPropDefs SQL Table

See Also

This SQL table contains one row for each property definition object that is stored in the Repository. The information contained in this table is used by the Repository to create interface-specific SQL tables when an interface is added to the Repository. The IntID, Z_BranchID_Z, and Z_VS_Z columns form the primary key for this table.

Z_BranchID_Z RTBrID The value of this column is always zero.

Remarks

Remember that you can make only one version of each Property Type Definition. Nevertheless, this table includes the columns Z_BranchID_Z, Z_VS_Z, and Z_VE_Z because there are implementation advantages to including these columns. Similarly, the primary key includes the columns Z_BranchID_Z and Z_VS_Z for implementation reasons only.
