Detailed Description

Schema class.

Library: dataccess
The IliSQLTableDef class defines the structure of a table stored in a remote relational database.

Note that the IliSQLTableDef class does not encapsulate the notion of rows, it only defines the schema of an SQL table.

See also: IliErrorMessage, IliSQLSession, IliSQLTableRef.
