How do you call a table that just contains a static list of ids and static values, whose purpose is to be referenced by other tables?
For instance, a countries table like 1:Fiji,2:Cuba.3:Peru,.... Then a users table contains for each user the id of the country they were born in.
How would you call the countries table? I used to know it as a “master table”, but most Google results use it with other meanings. Is there a better word?
“Lookup Table” is probably what you are after here.
