How is called a table with ID and description for references?












0















I am not sure if it exists a special name for those tables that stores a value and its ID. That ID is usually used as foreign key in other tables.



Example:



Table: Position



ID Value



1 Doctor



2 Engineer



3 Lawyer



4 Dentist



5 Assistant



6 Accountant

  • It is called "table with ID and description for references" :-) I have never heard of a specific name for this. ID is your primary key, the Value is the description.

  • Why do you (think you) need a special term? I have seen these called "lookup tables".

  • I saw the definition for Lookup tables and it does not look like is the right one. It may sound silly but in Spanish we have a name for those kind of tables and when we have a meeting (in English) I would like to refer to those tables but I do no know how.
