1.6.11 Table Channels (channels)

This tables stores satellite channel records as described below.

Field null Description
channel_id no A unique ID of this ChannelData record (auto generated).
satellite_id no The ID of the satellite this ChannelData record refers to.
name no The user defined channel name.
full_name no The full name of this channel as it appears as a selection in the user interface. The full name is built from the satellite's name, a '-' character and the name field in this record. The full name must be unique because the operator selects satellite channels by this name. With POST or PATCH calls to the channel database the backend ignores this field, it automatically generates the fullName from the satellite name and name .
