Subschema: The Second-Level Definition

The second-level definition in CA IDMS/DB is known as the subschema. As its name indicates, the subschema defines a subset of the top-level schema definition. (While a subschema is usually a subset of a schema, it can also duplicate a schema in its entirety.) Any number of subschemas can be defined for a given schema.
