Domain Type Definitions
The following table provides descriptions for the domain types of certain columns in the Siebel database.
Domain Type | Meaning | Domain Contains |
---|---|---|
FK |
Foreign Key column |
The name of the table referenced by this Foreign Key column. |
PC |
Primary Child |
The name of the table in which the Primary Child is found. For example, an account (S_ORG_EXT) can be associated with multiple industries (S_INDUST) through the intersection table S_ORG_INDUST. One of these industries is the primary industry of the account: column S_ORG_EXT.PR_INDUST_ID points to the foreign key column INDUST_ID of the primary child table S_ORG_INDUST (the column S_ORG_INDUST.INDUST_ID is a foreign key to the base table S_INDUST and so it points to S_INDUST.ROW_ID). |
LOV |
List of Values |
The intended List of Values type for this column. List of values types are defined in the table S_LST_OF_VAL accessible through Siebel Tools: Screens > System Administration > List of Values. |
LOVB |
List of Values Bounded |
The List of Values type against which this column is validated. In the LOVB case, end users must specify a value from the list, whereas in the LOV case, the user can enter a value not contained in the list. |
MLOV |
Multilingual List of Values |
The List of Values type against which this column is validated, in multiple languages. End users must specify a value from the list, but see the values in their preferred language. |
MLS |
Multiple Language Support |
The name of the table in which the translation in an alternate language can be found. |
DNRM |
Denormalized |
The path to the original column, used by the Object Manager to synchronize the values, in the form of [foreign key column].[original column]. For example, the ACCNT_NAME column of table S_ACCNT_POSTN is denormalized; its domain is [OU_EXT_ID].[NAME]. In other words, the contents of column NAME of the table referenced by OU_EXT_ID (S_ORG_EXT) are replicated into column ACCNT_NAME of table S_ACCNT_POSTN. Denormalization is used to improve query performance. |
