current_identifications

All single-designations, and all identifications between designations. Always uses primary provisional designation (even for numbered objects). Includes all comets and satellites. Replicated from the Minor Planet Center (Postgres) database. This schema will generally closely follow the schema of the upstream table, to allow end-users to rerun queries developed elsewhere on the RSP.
