Name	Schema Table	Database	Description	Type	Length	Unit	Default Value	Unified Content Descriptor
object	[nspid]Multiframe	WSA NonSurvey	Object name from telescope {image primary HDU keyword: OBJECT}	varchar	64		NONE	ID_TARGET
objID	[nspid]Detection	WSA NonSurvey	Unique identifier for this detection or default for no detection	bigint	8		-99999999	ID_MAIN
			This attribute is included to provide a single identification number for real detection rows (objID>0) when making cross-neighbour tables between source and detection. In general, users should NOT use this attribute for look-ups between the source and detection tables, because every detector frame has a default row in the detection table, so there are many, many thousands of rows with objID=-99999999 in each detection table which will be associated with every look-up of objID=-99999999 from source (i.e. those rows for which there is no detection or no frame in a particular passband). See the glossary entry for objID in source tables for more information.
