Appendix 4: Typical .dbd file for an unmerged WFC DBase catalogue

This is the file determining the format of the database entitles=d wfci (Lockman Hole i-band). This file is automatically written according to a pre-set template when the database is created. `#maxentries' represents the maximum number of entries the database can have and is calculated from the size of the FITS table. Formats are standard IDL formats.
