What's this information window about transient components?

Normally, when you create a view, if there are components of the composite object which are more recent than the components given in the latest binding table (see chapter 8) for the composite object, the binding table will be automatically updated and stored. However, if the components which are more recent are transient, this is not done. The reason for this is that if the binding table were stored with references to transient components and you then did not store those transient components before quitting, the binding tables would reference an object which doesn't exist in the database. The message is simply telling you that the binding table cannot be stored. This message is suppressed by the command-line argument -S.
