Scope

Used by import/export

This marks a table to be "static".

A "static table" means that it should not be updated for individual databases because it is meant to be centrally updated and distributed. For instance static tables could contain country-codes used in many systems.

The foremost property of a static table is that the uid's used are the SAME across systems. Import/Export of records expect static records to be common for two systems.
