GOAL:

Numbering Convention for Schema Tables

GOAL:

This solution explains the numbering convention used for the schema
tables (_file._file-number).

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 9.x

FIX:

The schema table numbering convention is as follows:

- All table numbers less than zero are metaschema tables.

- Table numbers in the range -8 to -28 are old, fast track tables
that might be present in a converted database. They are not
used.

- Table numbers -16383 and below are for virtual system tables.

The conventions for SQL catalog tables are as follows:

- SQL catalog tables are owned by SYSPROGRESS.

- SQL catalog tables names start with _SYS.

- SQL catalog view names start with SYS.

User-defined tables have numbers greater than 0.
If they were not
created by SQL, they are owned by "PUB".
