Database (RDBMS) mapping

The Service Manager database dictionary (DBDICT) contains a logical definition of the tables and columns that make up your relational database management system (RDBMS). Each DBDICT record maps a Service Manager logical file to one or more RDBMS table and a Service Manager logical field to an RDBMS column. In addition, database dictionary records specify what data type the system uses to store data in the RDBMS.
