Understanding Sun Master Index Processing (Repository)

SBYN_CHILD_OBJECT

The sbyn_child_object tables (where child_object is the name of a child object in the object structure) store information about the child objects associated with a system record in the master index application. All tables storing child object information for system records contain the columns listed below. The remaining columns are defined by the fields you specify for each child object in the object structure, including any standardized or phonetic fields.

The differences in data types between Oracle and SQL Server are noted in Table 6. The Oracle type is on the first line, and the SQL Server type is on the second.
