Chemical Registration uses CRS_SALTCLOB and EMS_VOCAB_ENTRY tables for salts management, and users might be interested in understanding how the data in the two tables are used in the application.
 
1. CRS_SALTCLOB table stores detailed information about the structure, formula, weight, shortname, and charge for each salt. Data from this table is read and used to display information in the “Manage Salts and Solvents” page in Chemical Registration.
2. Salt stripping uses the data in CRS_SALTCLOB table to recognize the salt fragment and populate the composition tables from the data in the chemistry field, and identify the parent fragment.
3. SALTVOCAB_FK constraint in this table is a foreign key from the EMS_VOCAB_ENTRY table.
4. EMS_VOCAB_ENTRY table stores only the salt name with reference to entries in the CRS_SALTCLOB table. This table data is read to display the list of salts in the registration form.
