ii_fields Catalog
The ii_fields catalog contains information on the fields in a form. For every form, there is one row in this catalog for each field, table field and table field column. As used below, the word field refers to a simple field, a table field or a column in a table field. An example of a query that selects information about fields on a form is in Sample Queries for the Extended System Catalogs for SQL.
The ii_fields catalog is structured as btree unique on the object_id and flsubseq columns:
Column Name
