The <Tables> tag can contain any number of table definitions in <Table> tags. This makes it possible to name all tables or view from which data for a single object of this schema type is required. The underlying required information for a table is defined in the attributes of the <Table> tag.
Table 9: Attributes of a table definition
|
Name |
Name of the table (without schema name). |
|
Schema |
Name of the Oracle schema. |
|
APK |
Name of a column that can be an alternative primary key. This column is always loaded. |
|
USN |
Name of a column that stores information about the last object modifications. If the column LAST_UPDATE_DATE exists, this is used as change information by default and does not have to be specified explicitly. |
|
WhereClause |
WHERE clause for restricting the results set. |
|
JoinParentTable |
Name of a parent table when a join operation is carried out on a schema type higher up in the hierarchy. |
|
JoinParentColumn |
Comma-delimited list of columns in a parent table when a Join operation is carried out on a schema type higher up in the hierarchy (full notation). |
|
JoinChildColumn |
Comma-delimited list of columns in the currently defined table to be joined to the columns from JoinParentColumn in the Join operation (full notation). The sequence of columns in the list determines which columns are joined to each other. |
|
View |
Name of the view if there is a view for the table that filters the table contents based on the current database edition.
Example: Specify the FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL# view for the FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL table. |
Example
<Tables>
...
<Table Name="FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL" View="FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL#" Schema="APPLSYS" APK="" USN="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL.LAST_UPDATE_DATE" WhereClause="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL.LANGUAGE='$SYSLANGU$'" JoinParentColumn="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.RESPONSIBILITY_ID,APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.APPLICATION_ID" JoinParentTable="FND_RESPONSIBILITY" JoinChildColumn="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL.RESPONSIBILITY_ID,APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL.APPLICATION_ID" />
...
</Tables>
The <PK> tags within the <Table> section name the primary key columns of a table. The name of the column is specified in the Column attribute. To define primary keys with multiple columns, enter each column in a separate tag. You can use any number of <PK> tags in a table definition.
Table 10: Attribute of a primary key definition
|
Column |
Name of the primary key column (full notation). |
Example
<PK Column="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL.RESPONSIBILITY_ID" />
The <ParentTableFK> tags within the <Table> section describe the column pairs that are to be equated with the table of the superordinate schema type in a Join operation.
Table 11: Attributes of a column pair
|
Column |
Name of the column in the current defined table. |
|
ParentColumn |
Name of the column in the table of the superordinate schema type. |
Example
<ParentTableFK Column="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.APPLICATION_ID" ParentColumn="APPLSYS.FND_APPLICATION.APPLICATION_ID" />
<Object SchemaName="ORA-Responsibility" ParentSchemaName="ORA-Application" DisplayPattern="%vrtDistinguishedName%" IsReadOnly="true" UseDistinct="false">
<ObjectKey>
<Key Column="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.RESPONSIBILITY_ID" IsDNColumn="true" IsReferencedColumn="true" X500Abbreviation="RE" />
<Key Column="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.APPLICATION_ID" />
</ObjectKey>
<Tables>
<Table Name="FND_RESPONSIBILITY" View="FND_RESPONSIBILITY#" Schema="APPLSYS" APK="" USN="" WhereClause="" JoinParentTable="" JoinParentColumn="" JoinChildColumn="" >
<PK Column="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.RESPONSIBILITY_ID" />
<ParentTableFK Column="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.APPLICATION_ID" ParentColumn="APPLSYS.FND_APPLICATION.APPLICATION_ID" />
</Table>
<Table Name="FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL" View="FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL#" Schema="APPLSYS" APK="" USN="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL.LAST_UPDATE_DATE" WhereClause="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL.LANGUAGE='$SYSLANGU$'" JoinParentColumn="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.RESPONSIBILITY_ID,APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.APPLICATION_ID" JoinParentTable="FND_RESPONSIBILITY" JoinChildColumn="APPLSYS.FND_APPLICATION.APPLICATION_ID" >
<PK Column="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL.RESPONSIBILITY_ID" />
</Table>
<Table Name="FND_APPLICATION" View="FND_APPLICATION#" Schema="APPLSYS" APK="" USN="" WhereClause="" JoinParentTable="FND_RESPONSIBILITY" JoinParentColumn="APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.APPLICATION_ID" JoinChildColumn="APPLSYS.FND_APPLICATION.APPLICATION_ID" >

Explanation
The definition above shows the declaration of the ORA-Responsibility schema type as it is used internally by the Oracle E-Business Suite connector.
The schema type is subordinate to the ORA-Application schema type in the hierarchy (ParentSchemaName). It has to object key columns (APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.RESPONSIBILITY_ID and APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.APPLICATION_ID), of which only one is included as a part of the distinguished name IsDNColumn="true". The column APPLSYS.FND_RESPONSIBILITY.APPLICATION_ID is a part of the DistinguishedName of the superordinate schema type, which is added automatically at the end.
For the selection of all properties, records from the tables FND_RESPONSIBILITY, FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL and FND_APPLICATION are queried by a Join operation. The columns for the Join operation are specified in the relevant attributes JoinParentColumn and JoinChildColumn.
The description text is read from the table FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL in the language specified by the database connection configuration. For this reason, the symbolic variable $SYSLANGU$ is used in the Where clause. For more information, see Symbolic variables in WHERE clauses.
