syst_perm_functional_types


Description

Defines application specific areas of applicability to which Permissions and Permission Roles are assigned.

When an application defines varying areas of business controls, Permission Functional Types can be used to group Permissions into their specific areas and limit usage and role assignment by area. Consider an application which supports multiple warehouses containing inventory. The application may define globally applicable Permissions such as the ability to log into the application, but may allow employees to be granted varying degrees of Permission to each individual warehouse’s inventory management features. In this case there would be “Global” Permission Functional Type containing the log in Permission and a “Warehouse” Permission Functional Type for those Permissions and Permission Roles which can vary warehouse by warehouse.

General Usage

Both Permissions and Permission Roles must share a Permission Functional Type since the Permission Functional Type establishes the context of applicability for both.

The record’s primary key. The definitive identifier of the record in the system.

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.
internal_name text 2147483647 null

A candidate key useful for programmatic references to individual records.

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.
display_name text 2147483647 null

A friendly name and candidate key for the record, suitable for use in user interactions

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.
syst_description text 2147483647 null

A system defined description indicating the purpose and use cases of a given record. Text defined in this column is system maintained and should not be changed under normal circumstances.

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.
user_description text 2147483647 √ null

An optional user defined description of the record and its use cases. If this value is not NULL, the value will override any syst_description defined text in application user interfaces and other presentations.
diag_timestamp_created timestamptz 35,6 now()

The database server date/time when the transaction which created the record started.

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.
diag_role_created text 2147483647 √ null

The database role which created the record.

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.
diag_timestamp_modified timestamptz 35,6 now()

The database server date/time when the transaction which modified the record started. This field will be the same as diag_timestamp_created for inserted records.

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.
diag_wallclock_modified timestamptz 35,6 clock_timestamp()

The database server date/time at the moment the record was actually modified. For long running transactions this time may be significantly later than the value of diag_timestamp_modified.

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.
diag_role_modified text 2147483647 √ null

The database role which modified the record.

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.
diag_row_version int8 19 1

The current version of the row. The value here indicates how many actual data changes have been made to the row. If an update of the row leaves all data fields the same, disregarding the updates to the diag_* columns, the row version is not updated, nor are any updates made to the other diag_* columns other than diag_update_count.

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.

Direct Usage

This column is frequently used by by application logic to resolve the “dirty write” issues which can arise from concurrent data changes. As such any administrative override of automatic system maintenance of this value should consider the ramifications on application function.
diag_update_count int8 19 0

Records the number of times the record has been updated regardless as to if the update actually changed any data. In this way needless or redundant record updates can be found. This row starts at 0 and therefore may be the same as the diag_row_version - 1.

General Usage

This column is system maintained and should be considered read only in normal operations.
