The NameDenorm Table

The NameDenorm table is a lean data table that stores the ObjID and Name of each object instance that is in the Data table. When an application needs to provide a list of hyperlinks to object instances involved in a parent/child relationship, Force.com uses the NameDenorm table to execute a relatively simple query that retrieves the Name of each referenced object instance for display as part of a hyperlink.
