About shared-table-sequence in repository definition file

[shyamala]

Hi All,

In most of the repository definition files i came across shared-table-
sequence="1" or 2

<table name="subjects_tbl" type="multi" id-column-names="id"
multi-column-name="seq_num" shared-table-sequence="1"">
<property name="favoriteSubjects" column-names="subject" data-
type="array"
component-data-type="string"/>
</table>

what is the necessity of this attribute in the table definition as
well what will be the advantage by specifying multi-column-
name="sequence_num"


Need clarification on this...

Kindly help me in this!!

Thanks & Regards
Shyamala

Shared-table-sequence, will be used when you want many to many relationship.

sequence_num is basically for sorting.
 For more info refer repository manual.

We use shared-table-sequence attribute when we share the same table with more than one item-descriptor.
This attribute is mainly useful in CA to maintain versioning for identifying the changes of specific item-descriptor.

The sequence_num is used in multi tables to denote the order in which the items needs to be sorted.
For example if you have a List multi property then when you access list  from the Java code it is sorted based on the sequence_num column.

I hope this is helpful.
