The field_names table

All header field names are stored in field_names.

The name column stores the field name. The name is stored in header-cased form (Reply-To, not Reply-to or reply-to) and there is no trailing colon). header_fields and other tables refer to this one.

The Archiveopteryx installer initialises this table with some common field names, such as From, To, Date and Subject. Entries are added to the table as messages are stored in the database. 


create table field_names (
    id          serial primary key,
    name        text unique
);

The field_names table was introduced in version 0.93.
