File Entries

CA 2E automatically resolves each relation you entered on the Edit Database Relations panel into one or more file entries. A file entry indicates the presence of a field on a file. In other words, each CA 2E relation causes one or more fields to be created on a file.

Some examples are:

• The Known by relation causes a key field to be created on the named file
• The Has relation causes an attribute to be created on the named file
• The Owned by relation causes one or more key fields to be created on the owned file.

You can view how CA 2E has resolved your relations by displaying the entries for the file.
