The usage of Belgium postal codes tables have resulted in several question. This
information tries to answer most of them.

Table Postal Codes Villages (B) T5B5C:
1. Why does a postal code (BEPST) includes a suffix ? (Example Glimes: 1315A)
The postal code is a key value of the table, hence the value has to
be unique.
The official post code:

o May have several official languages (relation 1:n). Example:
- 1000, Brussel, language Dutch

For each district and official language the table T5B5C has to have an entry.
The assignment of 1 post code to n districts and languages is done
by means of adding an alphabet in the post code => postal code.
