property method

Property methods are methods implemented for a property. Similar to structures (complex data types), methods of different types can be provided for properties.

Property methods can be provided as context functions or as property controls. A property method can be a class method, when the property refers to exactly one instance or a set method, when the collection refers to a set of instances.

One may apply user-defined methods to a property as well as generic methods as provided by the database system.
