UV:

No, the associations are not automatically updated from UVBasic, though if you are updating via UVSQL I think they are (haven't tried it).

Why define the associations? Well, other than "because it's the Right Thing To Do," association definitions are used by UniODBC for dynamic normalization.

What are the advantages of defining in the data dictionary mv associations?

Does it mean that if I change or insert via a UniBasic writev command, that all of the associated fields get a null character if the program does not
explictly specify a change?

Are there any downsides to just defining a vanilla "M" field that is used
with other associated M fields.

Comments would be appreciated.
