DATABLOCK

The datablock category holds the essential identifying information for a data block. The items recorded in this category include the name of the data block, _datablock.id, and a description of the block _datablock.description. The _datablock.id is the parent identifier for both _category.implicit_key and _dictionary.datablock_id.

The DDL for the datablock category is given in the following section.
