Specifying Column Values

You can specify any values for a column. These values are usually small numbers or integers that stand for one of several options in the column. (For example, the circulation_privilege column in the circulation_privilege_code table has 27 options, each assigned a number from 0 to 26.) The number that you enter determines the circulation privilege you work with.
