Understanding Sun Master Index Processing (Repository)

SBYN_OBJECT_NAME

This table stores the parent object in each system record received by the master index application. It is linked to the tables that store each child object in the system record by the object_nameid column (where object_name is the name of the parent object). This table contains the columns listed below regardless of the design of the object structure, and also contains a column for each field you defined for the parent object in the Object Definition file. Columns to store standardized or phonetic versions of certain fields are automatically added when you specify certain match types in the wizard.

The differences in data types between Oracle and SQL Server are noted in Table 4. The Oracle type is on the first line, and the SQL Server type is on the second.
