Column Objects

A Column object definition is the direct representation of a database column in a DBMS. The name, data type, length, primary key and foreign key status, alias, and other properties of the database column are recorded as properties in the corresponding column object definition. Additional properties internal to Siebel applications are provided in the object definition, such as the Changed and Inactive statuses, and Type (a classification for column object definitions).

A column has one of several styles based on the value in the Type property. These styles include Data, Extension, IFMGR, System, and others.

The Column object type is described in the next section followed by discussion of the various column styles.
