ii_longremarks Catalog
The ii_longremarks catalog contains the “long remarks” text associated with user interface objects. Only those objects that have an associated long remark are entered in this catalog. Consequently, unless all objects being selected have a long remark entered, joins between ii_objects and ii_longremarks must be outer joins. For an example of an outer join between the ii_objects and ii_longremarks catalogs, see Sample Queries for the Extended System Catalogs for SQL. The current implementation restricts long remarks to a single row; the sequence column is provided for a future enhancement to allow remarks of arbitrary length.
The ii_longremarks catalog is structured as btree unique on the object_id and remark_sequence columns:
Column Name

long_remark
