The database table OrgUnit exists in 2 differenet versions. The early version mixes current and historical data in the same table, while the newer version mixes current and logically deleted organizational units in the same table.

Therfore, working with table OrgUnit directly is cumbersome.

The view OrgUnitCurrent is designed to eliminate these differences. This view returns data from the OrgUnit table in same format, irrespective of data model version. In other words: the views hides the differences between data model versions.

Som whenever there is a need to get data from table OrgUnit (e.g. to get names and other information on organizational units), use view OrgUnitCurrent instead!
