POSTALCODE table

When and how often is this updated?

and by whom?

I'm wondering how current the data is, and are there any internal business rules or proceeses that use it?

THE OOTB system has no entries in the postalcode table. If yours has.. then "someone" put them there.

So I can infer then that Sage does not provide updates for this and there are no business rules internal to SalesLogix regarding this client.

Is this table definition vestigial?

Sage a NEVER provided any data OOTB or updates to the POSTALCODE table.

No.. the POSTALCODE table is useful. Many of us use it in customizations for our clients.

Oh, I plan on using it.  

I'm just wondering if there is any hidden program logic that I may be unaware of before performing bulk updates on verified Postal Code Data. I don't want some piece of vestigial code in the LAN client stomping all over current data. I have verified that th eweb lients do not use the POSTALCODE table at all as there is not even a POSTALCODE entity in AA.

I forsee this table becoming increasingly important to many of our in house initiatives.

Don't worry about something automatically happening.. unless there's a custom you are not aware of doing something.
