Overview

The table IGS_CO_DTL_OLE is a data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Student System (IGS). As indicated by its description, it is designed to store OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) information specifically related to a correspondence item. This suggests its role was to manage embedded or linked document objects within the student correspondence subsystem. Critically, the ETRM metadata explicitly labels the IGS product as "Obsolete" and notes this table is "Not implemented in this database." This indicates that while the table structure was defined, it was never deployed in standard EBS 12.1.1 or 12.2.2 instances, rendering it a non-operational artifact of the application's design history.

Key Information Stored

Based on the provided metadata, the table's structure is defined by a composite primary key and its relationship to a parent table. The primary columns are CORRESPONDENCE_TYPE and REFERENCE_NUMBER, which together form the primary key constraint IGS_CO_DTL_OLE_PK. While specific data columns for the OLE content (such as BLOB data, file pointers, or OLE metadata) are not detailed in the excerpt, the table's purpose implies it would have held the technical details necessary to render or access an embedded object. The key structure confirms that this OLE data is a child record of a specific correspondence detail entry.

Common Use Cases and Queries

Given the table's status as not implemented, there are no active use cases or operational queries in a standard EBS environment. In a hypothetical scenario where it was active, its purpose would have been to support correspondence generation with rich content. Analytical or data retrieval queries would have joined to the parent correspondence detail table. A typical pattern to retrieve OLE data for a correspondence item would have been:

  • SELECT ole.* FROM igs_co_dtl_ole ole, igs_co_dtl dtl WHERE ole.correspondence_type = dtl.correspondence_type AND ole.reference_number = dtl.reference_number AND dtl.some_identifier = :input_value;

Any reporting on correspondence attachments or embedded content would have leveraged this table, but such functionality was not realized in the shipped product.

Related Objects

The primary related object is the IGS_CO_DTL table, which is the parent table for IGS_CO_DTL_OLE. The foreign key relationship is explicitly defined, with IGS_CO_DTL_OLE.CORRESPONDENCE_TYPE and IGS_CO_DTL_OLE.REFERENCE_NUMBER referencing columns in IGS_CO_DTL. This establishes that OLE information is a detail record of a correspondence detail. No other dependent tables, views, or APIs are listed in the provided metadata, which is consistent with the object's unimplemented state. Developers or DBAs encountering this table should treat it as a schema artifact with no live data or dependencies in a standard implementation.
