About the extended attribute system tables
InfoMaker stores information you provide for a database table (such as the
text to use for labels and headings for the columns, validation rules,
display formats, and edit styles) in system tables in your database. These
system tables are called the extended attribute system tables. The tables
contain all the information related to the extended attributes for the tables
and columns in the database. The extended attributes are used in reports.
