Overview

The IGS_RE_THESIS_ALL table is a core data entity within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Student System module, specifically designed for managing research student information. Its primary function is to store detailed records pertaining to a student's thesis. As indicated by the "_ALL" suffix, the table is designed to support a multi-organization structure, allowing data to be partitioned by the operating unit. It is important to note that the provided metadata explicitly states the IGS Student System is marked as "Obsolete" and that this specific table is "Not implemented in this database." This suggests that while the table's structure is defined in the data dictionary, it may not be actively populated or used in a standard EBS 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 deployment, potentially indicating a legacy or unimplemented feature within the research student management functionality.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure centers on uniquely identifying a thesis record and linking it to the broader student candidature. The primary key is a composite of three columns: PERSON_ID, CA_SEQUENCE_NUMBER, and SEQUENCE_NUMBER. This design indicates that a single research student (PERSON_ID) can have multiple candidature records (CA_SEQUENCE_NUMBER), and for each candidature, multiple thesis records (SEQUENCE_NUMBER) can exist, potentially tracking different versions or stages of the thesis. While the full column list is not provided in the excerpt, the foreign key relationships imply the storage of critical attributes such as the THESIS_RESULT_CD, which links to a lookup or result table to store the final outcome of the thesis examination.

Common Use Cases and Queries

In an implemented system, this table would be central to thesis lifecycle management. Common use cases would include generating reports on thesis submission status, tracking examination results, and providing data for academic research administration. A typical query might join the thesis table with the candidature and person tables to produce a student thesis summary report. For example, a SQL pattern to retrieve basic thesis information for a specific operating unit might be structured as follows:

• SELECT th.person_id, th.ca_sequence_number, th.sequence_number, th.thesis_result_cd FROM igs_re_thesis_all th WHERE th.org_id = :org_id;

Given the "Obsolete" status, such queries would likely be used in legacy data extraction or migration scenarios rather than in active transactional processes.

Related Objects

The IGS_RE_THESIS_ALL table maintains defined relationships with several other entities in the research student schema, as documented by its foreign keys.

• IGS_RE_CANDIDATURE_ALL: This is the parent table. Each thesis record is associated with a specific student candidature via the composite foreign key on PERSON_ID and CA_SEQUENCE_NUMBER.
• IGS_RE_THESIS_RESULT_ALL: The THESIS_RESULT_CD column in IGS_RE_THESIS_ALL references this table, which likely stores the valid set of result codes (e.g., Pass, Fail, Revise) for a thesis.
• IGS_RE_THESIS_EXAM: This table is a child of IGS_RE_THESIS_ALL. It holds examination details for a specific thesis, linked via the full primary key: PERSON_ID, CA_SEQUENCE_NUMBER, and THE_SEQUENCE_NUMBER (which corresponds to the SEQUENCE_NUMBER in the parent thesis table).
