Overview

The IGS_AS_STU_TRN_CMTS table is a core data repository within the Oracle E-Business Suite Student System (IGS) module, specifically for versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2. Its primary function is to store transcript comments associated with individual students. An academic transcript is a formal record of a student's academic performance, and the comments stored in this table provide contextual, explanatory, or qualifying information that accompanies the standard grade and unit data. This object is essential for generating comprehensive and compliant student transcripts, serving as the system of record for all programmatically attached textual remarks.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is designed to link comments precisely to specific academic contexts. Its primary key is the COMMENT_ID, which uniquely identifies each comment record. The table's foreign key relationships reveal its critical data elements. It stores identifiers for the student (PERSON_ID) and their academic program (COURSE_CD), linking to the student program attempt (IGS_EN_STDNT_PS_ATT_ALL). For granularity, comments can be associated with a specific unit offering (UOO_ID) or an award (AWARD_CD). The table also includes references to a load calendar instance (LOAD_CAL_TYPE, LOAD_CI_SEQUENCE_NUMBER) and a course type (COURSE_TYPE), allowing comments to be contextualized by academic period and program classification. The actual comment text is stored in a dedicated column, typically of a CLOB or VARCHAR2 data type, though the specific column name is implied rather than explicit in the provided metadata.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is central to transcript generation and student record reporting. A primary use case is the batch process that compiles official transcripts, which queries this table to append relevant comments to the student's academic history. Administrators may also query it to review or audit all comments attached to a student's record. Common SQL patterns include selecting comments for a specific student and program, or for a given academic period. For example, to retrieve all transcript comments for a student in a specific course, a query would join on PERSON_ID and COURSE_CD. Another typical query involves fetching comments related to a particular unit attempt by joining on the UOO_ID. Data from this table is often integrated into custom reports providing detailed academic summaries beyond standard transcript formats.

Related Objects

The IGS_AS_STU_TRN_CMTS table maintains integral relationships with several key tables in the Student System, as defined by its foreign key constraints:

  • IGS_EN_STDNT_PS_ATT_ALL: Links to the student's program attempt via PERSON_ID and COURSE_CD. This is the primary relationship to the student.
  • IGS_PS_UNIT_OFR_OPT_ALL (UOO_ID): Associates a comment with a specific instance of a offered unit.
  • IGS_PS_AWD (AWARD_CD): Links a comment to a particular academic award or qualification.
  • IGS_PS_TYPE_ALL (COURSE_TYPE): Contextualizes a comment by the type of course (e.g., undergraduate, postgraduate).
  • IGS_CA_INST_ALL: Associates the comment with an academic calendar period (LOAD_CAL_TYPE, LOAD_CI_SEQUENCE_NUMBER) for temporal context.

These relationships ensure data integrity and enable the complex joining of transcript comments with broader student academic information.
