The ISchemaElement is a super interface for the ITable, IIndex, and IField interfaces and allows the IPartition interface to have a single property to represent the ITable, IIndex, or IField to which it belongs. The properties and methods of this interface are provided for application use on a sub-interface. Otherwise, the ISchemaElement interface is not supported for direct access.

It defines properties common to all schema elements, including the Partitions property that can be used to access the schema object's partitions for all tenants and tenant groups.

The properties and methods described in the following sections are supported for use in your application code. ISchemaElement also defines other properties and methods not described here that are reserved for OpenEdge use only.
