Link table objects are many-to-many tables representing current and past relationships between two or more Hub entities and are used to describe associations, transactions, hierarchies and redefinitions of Hub entities in a Data Vault. Links have their own hash key and the hash keys for the Hubs that are linked, as well as a Load Date and Record Source. The attributes describing the context of a link are stored in Satellite tables.
This table can be created via a Wizard—refer to Creating the Hub, Link and Satellite Tables for details.
Following is an example of the menu displayed when you right-click a Link table object.
Tip
The bulk of the menu options are same as for the other table objects described in this section.
