Template:ChadoTable pubauthor
From GMOD
This template is a Chado Table Template. It defines a single table from the Chado schema, and every Chado table has a template like this one. This template is automatically included in two places:
- The module page for the module the table is a part of. This is where updates and comments should be posted.
- The Chado Tables page, which lists all tables.
You can include this template anywhere you want to show the table description.
| Table: | pubauthor |
| Module: | Publication |
An author for a publication. Note the denormalisation (hence lack of _ in table name) - this is deliberate as it is in general too hard to assign IDs to authors.
| FK | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| pubauthor_id | serial | PRIMARY KEY | |
| pub | pub_id | integer | UNIQUE#1 NOT NULL |
| rank | integer | UNIQUE#1 NOT NULL | |
| editor | boolean | DEFAULT false Indicates whether the author is an editor for linked publication. Note: this is a boolean field but does not follow the normal chado convention for naming booleans. | |
| surname | character varying(100) | NOT NULL | |
| givennames | character varying(100) | First name, initials | |
| suffix | character varying(100) | Jr., Sr., etc |
