Overview

The table IGS_RE_GV_FLD_OF_SDY is a reference data entity within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Student System (IGS) module. As documented in the ETRM, its core purpose is to describe the government-defined set of fields of study. This table acts as a master list or code table, providing a standardized classification system for academic disciplines, typically for compliance, reporting, and statistical analysis mandated by governmental education authorities. It is important to note the metadata explicitly labels the IGS - Student System as "Obsolete," indicating this table belongs to a legacy component of Oracle EBS. Furthermore, the implementation note "Not implemented in this database" suggests that while the table structure exists in the data model, it may not be populated or actively used in all deployment instances of versions 12.1.1 and 12.2.2.

Key Information Stored

The primary data stored in this table is the government field of study code. Based on the provided metadata, the table's structure is centered on a single primary key column. The documented primary key constraint IGS_RE_GV_FLD_OF_SDY_PK is defined on the column GOVT_FIELD_OF_STUDY. This column would typically contain a short alphanumeric code representing a specific field of study (e.g., "01" for Natural and Physical Sciences, "02" for Information Technology). The table likely includes a description column (e.g., DESCR) to provide the full textual name of the field, though this is inferred from standard practice as it is not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpt. Other potential columns could include effective dating, an inactive date flag, and who columns for auditing.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The primary use case for this table is to ensure institutional academic program data aligns with national reporting standards. When a field of study is associated with a course or program of study within the system, it can be linked to this government-standardized classification. A common reporting scenario would involve extracting aggregated student enrollment or completion statistics by the official government field of study for submission to a regulatory body. A typical query would join this reference table to the academic program data.

Sample SQL Pattern:

• To list all active government fields of study: SELECT govt_field_of_study, description FROM igs_re_gv_fld_of_sdy WHERE SYSDATE BETWEEN start_date AND NVL(end_date, SYSDATE);
• To find programs mapped to a specific government classification: SELECT p.program_code, p.title FROM igs_ps_fld_of_study_all p, igs_re_gv_fld_of_sdy g WHERE p.govt_field_of_study = g.govt_field_of_study AND g.govt_field_of_study = '&govt_code';

Related Objects

The table IGS_RE_GV_FLD_OF_SDY has a defined relationship with the core academic program table, as per the foreign key metadata provided. The table IGS_PS_FLD_OF_STUDY_ALL contains a column, GOVT_FIELD_OF_STUDY, which is a foreign key referencing the primary key of IGS_RE_GV_FLD_OF_SDY. This relationship enforces referential integrity, ensuring that any government field of study code stored against an academic program in IGS_PS_FLD_OF_STUDY_ALL must exist as a valid code in the IGS_RE_GV_FLD_OF_SDY master table. This is the primary documented dependency for this object.
