> With IMAGE DB you can define Subitems in Powerhouse which is nothing else
as
> using one single field out of the database and defining a data structure
> within Powerhouse for this single DB field using the PHD (Powerhouse
> Dictonary).

> Example:
>      Field in IMAGE DB:      X CHAR(10)
>      Subitems in Powerhouse using field X of IMAGE DB:
>                        subitem1 CHAR(3)
>                        subitem2 CHAR(3)
>                        subitem3 CHAR(4)
>
> We are speaking with someone who has  told us that they have tried to do
> this with a relational DB and learned that is under the impression that
> Powerhouse does not support this ability to overlay fields   for a
> relational DB, only for IMAGE DB. The client went on to say that you
cannot
> define Subitems in the Powerhouse Dictonary for a relational DB.

> Can someone confirm this?
