Using table metadata

Tables created with Code Stylist have an "entry_id" column to enable metadata.

dbscript uses the "entry_id" column to track the data types stored in the table, to associate the data with a user (member), and to anticipate the proper way to display the data later.

If your table does not have an "entry_id" column, these things may happen:

  1. Can't create records in database owned by one user
  2. Lose fine grain control of permissions.
  3. You'll be able to control access to table, but each individual record won't have ownership attributed to it.. other users (members) may be able to delete it.
  4. Trouble in a multi-user situation, you wouldn't be able to check concurrency.
  5. Sweating.
