Multitable Info Tab

Use the following information to enter data in each field of the tab:

Field | Description
--- | ---
Primary Table | The primary table for this descriptor. This field is for display only.
Additional Tables | Use Add and Remove to add or remove additional tables.

Association to Primary Table

Specify how each Additional Table is associated to the Primary Table:

- Primary Keys Have Same Names–when associating tables by identically named primary keys, TopLink requires no additional configuration.

- Reference–when associating an additional table to the primary table with a Reference (that is, a foreign key), you can specify the Table Reference, as well as the Source and Target fields. Continue with "Associating Tables With References".

Associating Tables With References

When associating a table using Reference, additional options appear. You must choose a reference that relates the correct fields in the primary table to the primary keys in the selected table.

Choose a Table Reference that defines how the primary keys of the primary table relate to the primary keys of the selected table. Click Add to add a primary key association.
