DICTIONARY

The dictionary category holds the essential identifying information for a dictionary. The items recorded in this category include the title for the dictionary, _dictionary.title, the current version identifier, _dictionary.version, and the data block identifier in which the dictionary is defined, _dictionary.data_block_id. The version identifier references the parent identifier in the dictionary_history category in which each dictionary revision is described.

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