*******
This column has type ``integer`` and is the primary key for
the this table.
Its initial value is zero, and it increments by one for each row.

****
This column has type ``real`` and is a set of time values.
The values in the time column must be unique; i.e.,
none of the values may be repeated.
The values can be in any specific order; e.g.,
they do not need to be increasing or decreasing.

Ode Grid
========
Note that the maximum minus the minimum time divided by the
:ref:`option_table@Age Average Grid@ode_step_size` will determine the
time spacing between solutions of the
:ref:`avg_integrand@Ordinary Differential Equation`
along cohort lines.
