Blinding Flag
This setting has effect only for Table instances.
The setting in the Table definition serves only as a default setting for instances of that Table definition. See Managing Blinded Data for further information.
- If set to No, the Table instance is intended to never contain blinded data.
- If set to Yes, the Table instance may contain blinded data. The system maintains two sets of rows: one set for the real data and another set for dummy data, effectively partitioning the table in the database.
Note:
If you change the setting of the Blinding flag for a Table instance that is already installed, you cannot use an Upgrade-mode Work Area installation to reinstall the new version of the Table instance. You must do a Full-mode Work Area install to apply a new blinding status to an installed Table instance, which deletes the Table instance's data; see About Work Area Installation.Parent topic: Setting and Modifying Table Attributes
