EGP_CATEGORIES_B

-- ============================================================
-- Table  : EGP_CATEGORIES_B — The category master — one row per category with its user-facing category code and active window; categories are global and keyed by CATEGORY_ID
-- Purpose: Column-selected read of EGP_CATEGORIES_B — auto-generated from field metadata
-- Grain  : One row per CATEGORY_ID
-- Notes  : Auto-generated skeleton for Oracle Fusion Cloud data landed in your lakehouse by a BICC extract — there is no SQL path to the SaaS database. Column names follow Oracle's table documentation — if your landed data still carries PVO attribute headers, map names first; see quirks #pvo-drift. Dates are real DATE/TIMESTAMP columns — no conversion needed. WHO audit columns omitted (see the quirks guide); the optional LAST_UPDATE_DATE watermark filter supports incremental extracts.
