rym_data_version table — rycdv

This table aids in the generic storage of data version numbers without having to add a specific version number field to tables that require version control. It is used in the context of versioning SmartObjects, but might also be used to record a version number for any data, such as menu items or help.

Table 10–25 lists the table’s FLA, fields, and foreign keys.

Table 10–25: rym_data_version table information 

Table FLA	Fields (data type)	Foreign keys
rymdv	data_version_obj (Decimal) related_entity_mnemonic (Character) related_entity_key (Character) data_version_number (Integer)	None

Table 10–26 gives details of the table’s indexes.

Table 10–26: rym_data_version index information 

Index name	Elements	Type
XPKrym_data_version	data_version_obj	Primary Unique
XAK1rym_data_version	related_entity_mnemonic related_entity_key	Unique

The update of this table should be automated by the version control procedures if they are being used to control maintenance of the data.

This information must be made available generically to a Help About window in the context of SmartObject versioning.

The version number for a piece of data is written by the versioning procedures. There is no method to generically handle versioning data when a user changes it outside of the version control procedures.
