iQlinkXG Database Specifications

Introduction

These are the database specifications for the iQlinkXG software, a comprehensive Microwave

Link Design System (MLDS). These specifications describe tables, views, triggers and packages

available in the iQlinkXG database.

A table is a collection of rows that have associated columns containing individual data items.

Refer topage 6 throughpage 141 for a description of each table in the iQ

link

XG

database.A view is an alternative way of looking at the data in one or more tables. A view is derived from

one or more real tables whose data is physically stored in the database. A view can also be derived

from another view. Refer topage 142 throughpage 156 for a description of the views in the

iQlinkXG database.

A trigger defines a process action the database must take when a database-related event occurs.

These triggers can be used to maintain referential integrity, business rules or to monitor changes to

data. Refer topage 157 for a description of the triggers used in the iQlinkXG database.

A package is used to specify functions, procedures, variables, constants, cursors, and exceptions

that will be used by the database. Refer topage 158 for a description of the packages used in the

iQlink

XG

database.

Database Specifications Introduction

6 Comsearch Proprietary Information Version 9.2.2.1 -Revision 1 - 19 January 2011

Database TablesThe table below explains the elements used in the database tables of the software:

The scripts to create a new iQlinkXG database define a primary key constraint on each table, which

results in a unique index.

After each table description in this document, there is a Primary Key description that provides

information on the tables primary key definition and associated index.

The only constraint definition in this database is the hub_sector element, which is created with

foreign key constraints.

ELEMENT TYPE DESCRIPTION

Displays the column name. Refers to the column database type.

If not null appears in the column, it

signifies that a value is required. If not null

does notappear in the column, a value is

not required.

Displays any Default used for a field

and provides a description of the

column.
