ii_objects Catalog

The ii_objects catalog contains a row for every user interface object in the database. This catalog stores basic information about each object, such as name, owner, object ID, object class, and creation date.

Objects in this table often have additional information represented in rows of one or more other user interface catalogs; for example, form objects are also represented by rows in ii_forms, ii_fields, and ii_trim. In all cases, the object ID is the key column that is used to join information from multiple catalogs about a single object.
