Hi

In simple words, data dictionary is information about a particular data. It could be any information such as type, size, date created and other details.

A data dictionary is just a textual representation of your database structure (tables) and its field meta data.

Something like this


Table Name | Attribute Name | Contents | Type | Format | Range | Required | PK/FK | FK Referenced table

Fill in the info below the columns for all your tables and fields.

cheers,
