    Description ( 
       "A user-defined type is a schema object, identified by a <user "
       "-defined type name>. The definition of a userdefined type "
       "specifies a number of components, including in particular a "
       "list of attribute definitions. Although the attribute "
       "definitions are said to define the representation of the "
       "user-defined type, in fact they implicitly define certain "
       "functions (observers and mutators) that are part of the "
       "interface of the user-defined type; physical representations "
       "of user-defined type values are implementation-dependent. \n"
       "\n"
       "The representation of a user-defined type is expressed either "
       "as a single data type (some predefined data type, called the "
       "source type), in which case the user-defined type is said to "
       "be a distinct type, or as a list of attribute definitions, in "
       "which case it is said to be a structured type. \n"
       "\n"
       "A user-defined type is described by a user-defined type "
       "descriptor. A user-defined type descriptor contains: \n"
       "- The name of the user-defined type (<user-defined type "
       "name>). This is the type designator of that type, used in type "
       "precedence lists. \n"
       "- An indication of whether the user-defined type is a "
       "structured type or a distinct type. \n"
       "- The ordering form for the user-defined type (EQUALS, FULL, "
       "or NONE). \n"
       "- The ordering category for the user-defined type (RELATIVE, "
       "MAP, or STATE). \n"
       "- A <specific routine designator> identifying the ordering "
       "function, depending on the ordering category. \n"
       "- If the user-defined type is a direct subtype of another user "
       "-defined type, then the name of that user-defined type. \n"
       "- If the representation is a predefined data type, then the "
       "descriptor of that type; otherwise the attribute descriptor of "
       "every originally-defined attribute and every inherited "
       "attribute of the user-defined type. \n"
       "- An indication of whether the user-defined type is "
       "instantiable or not instantiable. \n"
       "- An indication of whether the user-defined type is final or "
       "not final. \n"
       "- The transform descriptor of the user-defined type. \n"
       "- If the user-defined type is a structured type, then: \n"
       "- Whether the referencing type of the structured type has a "
       "user -defined representation, a derived representation, or a "
       "system -defined representation. \n"
       "- If user-defined representation is specified, then the type "
       "descriptor of the representation type of the referencing type "
       "of the structured type; otherwise, if derived representation "
       "is specified, then the list of attributes. \n"
       "- If the <method specification list> is specified, then for "
       "each <method specification> contained in <method specification "
       "list>, a method specification descriptor that includes: \n"
       "- The <method name>. \n"
       "- The <specific method name>. \n"
       "- The <SQL parameter declaration list> augmented to include "
       "the implicit first parameter with parameter name SELF. \n"
       "- The <language name>. \n"
       "- If the <language name> is not SQL, then the <parameter "
       "style>. \n"
       "- The <returns data type>. \n"
       "- The <result cast from type>, if any. \n"
       "- An indication as to whether the <method specification> is an "
       "<original method specification> or an <overriding method "
       "specification>. \n"
       "- If the <method specification> is an <original method "
       "specification>, then an indication of whether STATIC or "
       "CONSTRUCTOR is specified. \n"
       "- An indication whether the method is deterministic. \n"
       "- An indication whether the method possibly writes SQL data, "
       "possibly reads SQL data, possibly contains SQL, or does not "
       "possibly contain SQL. \n"
       "- An indication whether the method should not be invoked if "
       "any argument is the null value, in which case the value of the "
       "method is the null value." )]
