Overview

The IGR_I_E_TESTTYPS table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite Student System (IGS) module. It functions as a mapping or association table, specifically designed to store the relationship between different inquiry entry statuses and the standardized admission test types that may be required or relevant for prospective students. Its primary role is to support the admissions and inquiry management processes by defining which types of standardized tests (like SAT, ACT, or other institution-specific exams) are applicable based on the nature of the student's initial inquiry. This configuration enables systematic tracking and validation of test scores as part of the student lifecycle from initial contact to formal application.

Key Information Stored

The table's structure is defined by a concise set of key columns that establish the critical relationships. The primary identifier is the ENT_TEST_TYPE_ID, a system-generated unique key that serves as the primary key for the table. The core business logic is captured by two other columns: INQUIRY_TYPE_ID, which identifies the category or type of the prospective student's inquiry, and ADMISSION_TEST_TYPE, which holds a code referencing a specific, predefined type of admission test. Together, these columns form a unique key constraint (IGR_I_E_TESTTYPS_UK), ensuring that a given inquiry type is not linked to the same test type more than once.

Common Use Cases and Queries

A primary use case involves configuring the admissions process by an administrator, who uses this table to define which test scores must be collected for inquiries related to specific programs or student types. For reporting, it is used to analyze inquiry trends against testing requirements. Common SQL queries include retrieving all test types linked to a specific inquiry category or validating data integrity. For example, to list all configured test mappings, one might use:

  • SELECT inquiry_type_id, admission_test_type FROM igs.igr_i_e_testtyps ORDER BY inquiry_type_id;

Another typical query joins to the related test type description table to produce a more readable report:

  • SELECT t.inquiry_type_id, t.admission_test_type, d.test_type_name FROM igs.igr_i_e_testtyps t, igs_ad_test_type d WHERE t.admission_test_type = d.admission_test_type;

Related Objects

The IGR_I_E_TESTTYPS table has defined relationships with other key tables in the IGS schema, as indicated by its foreign key constraints. The ADMISSION_TEST_TYPE column is a foreign key referencing the IGS_AD_TEST_TYPE table, which stores the master list of valid test types and their descriptive details. The INQUIRY_TYPE_ID column is also a foreign key, though the referenced table name in the provided metadata is implied to be a table storing inquiry type definitions, likely within the IGR_I_* table family. The table's primary key (IGR_I_E_TESTTYPS_PK) may be referenced by other entities in the inquiry or admissions workflow that need to link to a specific test type mapping.
