Function of file loc block?

[Erik Hommel]

I am developing an interface that will load customers from a main system to CiviCRM, using the API's. Testing it, I see that no record is added in the file civicrm_loc_block, but that does not happen either when I add a location with a new household in CiviCRM. Can someone explain me what the function of the file civicrm_loc_block is?
thanks!

civicrm_loc_block is used to assign address/phone/email to non contact related civicrm objects

specification civicrm_event and civicrm_domain are the entities that require a location but are not contact objects. Most address/email etc are contact related and hence we've put the FK to a contact object directly in those tables

Is Lobo's answer still current?

[Erik Hommel]

As far as I know, yes :-)
