For topics that use a relational database or a Hadoop publication repository, you also configure the table columns.
The
Create Table

defines the tables and columns that hold the file metadata and you can only edit the precision field.
Data Integration Hub
adds the columns DIH_PUBLICATION_INSTANCE_DATE, DIH_PUBLICATION_INSTANCE_ID, and DIH__UPDATE_STRATEGY_FLAG to each topic table. When you finish creating the table, the columns show in the
