Data Dictionary Catalogs
Data dictionary catalogs contain the names of the catalogs installed for Ingres tools (such as ABF, QBF, and VIFRED). When you invoke one of these products, the product uses the data dictionary catalogs to determine if the required catalogs are present; if the catalogs are not present, the product cannot run.
The ii_client_dep_mod catalog lists the products that have been installed, and the modules required by the product. The format of ii_client_dep_mod is as follows:
Column Name
Data Type
Description
client_name
varchar(32)
Name of the product (for example, Ingres).
client_version

module_name
varchar(32)

module_version

short_remark
