When you provide application-based information such as the text to use for labels and headings for the columns, validation rules, display formats, and edit styles for a database table, PocketBuilder stores this information in system tables in your database. These system tables are called the extended attribute system tables. The tables contain all the information related to the extended attributes for the tables and columns in the database. The extended attributes are used in DataWindow objects.
There are five extended attribute system tables.
You can open and look at these tables just like other tables, in the Database painter. You might want to create a report of the extended attribute information used in your database by building a DataWindow object whose data source is the extended attribute system tables.
Caution
You should not change the values in the extended attribute
system tables. PocketBuilder maintains this information automatically
whenever you change information for a table or column in the Database
painter.
