Description

The series holds series-specific information

  • series_id - Unique record id for the series table.
  • series_title - The name of the series.
  • series_parent - Series ID of another series record which serves at this series' super-series. This allows hierarchical series structures of indefinite depth.
  • series_type - At one point this column contained a value that indicated whether or not the series record was a terminating leaf. The supported values were 1 for "Terminated series" and 2 for "Parent Series". No longer used.
  • series_parent_position - An integer value used in combination with series_parent to provide ordered hierarchical series structures of indefinite depth.
  • series_note_id - ID of the note record in the "notes" table associated with this series.
