// TSMIdColumn handles an id column for a Tiled
// Storage Manager.
// </etymology>

// <synopsis> 
// TSMIdColumn is used by
// <linkto class=TiledStMan>TiledStMan</linkto>
// to handle the access to
// a table column containing an id value of a tiled hypercube.
// Explicitly putting an id value is not possible. The only way to
// define the value is by specifying it when adding a hypercube
// in <linkto class=TiledDataStMan>TiledDataStMan</linkto>.
// <p>
// The id values are held in a TSMCube object. The row number
// determines which TSMCube object has to be accessed.
// <p>
// The creation of a TSMIdColumn object is done by a TSMColumn object.
// This process is described in more detail in the class
// <linkto class=TSMColumn>TSMColumn</linkto>.
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// Handling coordinate columns in the Tiled Storage Manager is
// different from other columns.
// </motivation>

//# <todo asof="$DATE:$">
//# A List of bugs, limitations, extensions or planned refinements.
//# </todo>
