Description	Attribute domains are classifiers that can be used to specify the

	similar values

Sub-type of	CLASSIFIER
Versioning:	Structure of ATTRIBUTE_DOMAIN versionable object
Rules:	API Spec Uniqueness Criteria Deletion Rules
Descriptor:	NAME

EJB_TARGET_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether Oracle8i EJB Session Beans is a platform on which this element is deployed. A value of 'Default' indicates the corresponding setting on the owning package applies Prompt: Is Oracle 8i Session Bean Target Uppercase Defined on CLA supertype	YESNODEF	D
EXTERNAL_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether this is an external class, and therefore not modifiable. Used for standard java library classes Prompt: Is External Uppercase Defined on CLA supertype	YESNO	N
FILE_SCOPE	VARCHAR2(10)	N	Indicates whether this is the main classifier in the file, or an inner or subsidiary class Prompt: File Scope Uppercase Defined on CLA supertype	FILE_SCOPE	MAIN
IMPLEMENTATION_TARGET	VARCHAR2(13)	Y	Implementation target for the classifier Prompt: Implementation Target Uppercase Defined on CLA supertype	IMPLEMENTATION_TARGET
LEAF_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether the classifier can be subtyped. If a leaf, it is not allowed to have subtypes Prompt: Is Leaf Uppercase Defined on CLA supertype	YESNO	N
MANDATORY_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether attributes in this domain must be given a value Prompt: Is Mandatory Uppercase	YESNO	N
MAXIMUM_LENGTH	NUMBER(5, 0)	Y	Maximum length of data that an attribute in this domain can contain Prompt: Maximum Length
NAME	VARCHAR2(100)	N	Name of the classifier Prompt: Name Defined on CLA supertype
O8I_TARGET_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether Oracle8i is a platform on which this element is deployed. A value of 'Default' indicates the corresponding setting on the owning package applies Prompt: Is Oracle8i Target Uppercase Defined on CLA supertype	YESNODEF	D
PERSISTENT_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether attributes with a datatype of this domain are persistent Prompt: Is Persistent Uppercase	YESNO	Y
QUERYABLE_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether attributes with a datatype of this domain are queryable Prompt: Is Queryable Uppercase	YESNO	Y
ROOT_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether the classifier can have supertypes. If a root, it is not allowed to have supertypes Prompt: Is Root Uppercase Defined on CLA supertype	YESNO	N
SYSTEM_ELEMENT_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether this is a "system element", ie one created by the API that the user cannot subsequently delete Not displayed Uppercase Defined on CLA supertype	YESNO	N
UPDATABLE_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether attributes with a datatype of this domain are updatable Prompt: Is Updatable Uppercase	YESNO	Y
VISIBROKER_TARGET_FLAG	VARCHAR2(1)	N	Indicates whether Visigenics Visibroker is a platform on which this element is deployed. A value of 'Default' indicates the corresponding setting on the owning package applies Prompt: Is Visigenics Visibroker Target Uppercase Defined on CLA supertype	YESNODEF	D
