ylläpitokentät

Ylläpitokentät, also known as maintenance fields, are a type of data field used in database management systems to track and manage the metadata of records. These fields are typically hidden from end-users and are used by the system to maintain the integrity and functionality of the database. Ylläpitokentät can store information such as the date and time a record was created or last modified, the user who made the changes, and the status of the record. They play a crucial role in auditing, version control, and ensuring data consistency within the database. These fields are automatically updated by the database management system based on predefined rules and triggers, ensuring that the metadata remains accurate and up-to-date without requiring manual intervention.
