Is It Possible to Add Extra User Fields to an Individual Member File?

FairCom has designed FairCom DB to be extremely flexible in its record definitions. As a truly multimodel database, it provides several means to accommodate non-traditional schema. In the case of Partitioned Files and FILESETS, what appears to the application to be a single file is actually multiple member files. Although all the member files must have a schema in common, variations are allowed in certain circumstances.

At this time, all member files of a Partitioned File or a FILESET must have the same schema. We do not have support variations in the schemas of the various member files, even if they all have a common portion.
