Overview

The IGS_RC_IS_TESTSEG table is a data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Student System (IGS), specifically designated as obsolete. Its primary role was to store staging data for inquiry test segments within the Self Service module. This table functioned as a temporary or intermediate repository, holding data related to segmented components of standardized tests (like the SAT or ACT) that were part of an applicant's inquiry record before being formally processed into the core system. The metadata explicitly states it is "Not implemented in this database," indicating it may have been a planned component that was never deployed in standard installations of EBS 12.1.1 or 12.2.2, or its functionality was superseded by other objects.

Key Information Stored

Based on the provided ETRM documentation, the table's structure centers on a unique identifier for each test segment record and a link to its parent test record. The primary key column, INQ_TEST_SEG_ID, is the critical field, ensuring each row in this staging table is uniquely identifiable. The other documented column is INQ_TEST_ID, which is a foreign key. This column establishes the relationship between a test segment and its corresponding parent inquiry test record stored in the IGS_RC_IS_TEST table, maintaining referential integrity within the staging data model.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Given its status as an obsolete and unimplemented staging table, direct operational or reporting use cases in a production EBS environment are highly unlikely. Its intended use case was to temporarily hold segmented test score data (e.g., Math, Verbal, Writing sections) submitted via a self-service portal during an inquiry or application process. A typical query would involve joining to the parent test table to retrieve all segments for a specific inquiry. A sample SQL pattern based on the documented structure would be:

• SELECT seg.* FROM igs_rc_is_testseg seg, igs_rc_is_test test WHERE seg.inq_test_id = test.inq_test_id AND test.inquiry_id = :p_inquiry_id;

In practice, developers or support personnel might encounter this table only during data cleanup, legacy data migration analysis, or while reviewing obsolete schema definitions.

Related Objects

The ETRM documentation specifies one clear foreign key relationship for this table. The IGS_RC_IS_TESTSEG table references the IGS_RC_IS_TEST table via the INQ_TEST_ID column. This defines a parent-child relationship where a single inquiry test record in IGS_RC_IS_TEST can have multiple associated test segment records in IGS_RC_IS_TESTSEG. The primary key constraint IGS_RC_IS_TESTSEG_PK on the INQ_TEST_SEG_ID column is the defining constraint for this table. No other tables referencing IGS_RC_IS_TESTSEG are documented in the provided metadata.
