Understanding Sun Master Index Configuration Options

Master Index Object Definition Fields

Each object in the object structure contains fields that store the data elements of the object. You can specify properties for each field in the object structure, such as a length, name, data type, formatting rules, and so on. The fields you define in the object structure also determine the structure of the database tables. You can also specify certain properties for each field that determine how the database columns are defined, including the length, name, and required data type.
