The Target table

The Target table lists the observations associated with the request. The column headings are:

• TargetID - autoincrement primary key
• Procedure*** - string name of the observing procedure default:'photo'
• RequestID - the key of the request that has created this entry
• ObjectID - the key of the fixed celestial object if any
• Count - number of repeat target (default:1)

The telescope will point to the fixed object if that is specified, or calculate the position of the orbiting object if that is specified. A Cascade delete has been placed on this table to the Picture file so if the Target is deleted, the associated pictures are also deleted.
