Schema: The Top-Level Definition

In CA IDMS/DB, the top-level definition is known as the schema. The schema names all of the allowable record types and defines the elements (fields) that can appear in each record type. The schema also names and defines the possible relationships among the record types; these defined relationships are the sets.
