Field in alias table (Deprecated)

The field in alias table format maps a Service Manager array field as a character large object (CLOB) within an alias table. This array format is deprecated. In earlier versions, this format was intended to support the following features:

Your RDBMS vendor could only support one "long" data type per table (This is still a restriction on Oracle databases but can be worked around by using CLOB and BLOB data types instead.)
You wanted the option to store very large array elements
You wanted to be able to use third-party tools to run reports against your array data

You should use one of the following array formats instead of the field in alias table format.

Field in main table
BLOB in main table
Multi-row array table
