Dynamics CRM Database Metadata Fields

Question

I want to know the purpose of these fields in the Dynamics CRM Metadata tables

• VersionNumber
• SupportingSolutionId
• IntroducedVersion
• {Entity}RowId
• ComponentState
• OverwriteTime
• IsManaged

Also, please describe or provide links about how the Dynamics CRM Metadata Model works?

Answer 1

Here is some info about the Metadata Model

Here is a breakdown of the different items you asked about

Hope that helps.

Edit:

• VersionNumber For internal use only. the version number of something
• IntroducedVersion A version number that represents the version of the solution that the solution component was added in.
• {Entity}RowId serves as the key between for example header and line records.
• ComponenetState These values represent the possible states of solution components.
• IsManaged - A Boolean option set used for whether a solution component is managed.

Could not find an Exact Reference for these two but this is my understand of what they are:

OverwriteTime - OverwriteTime='1900-01-01 00:00:00.000' as a default it changes to the current time when you change something (like a view or delete something)

SupportingSolutionId - it sounds like it's the solution id (or default solution id) for a given solution
