The stacking curation task implemented within the archive uses the
information in this table to produce the required stack(s) for a given
programme when invoked as part of archive operations.

Required constraints:
  • Primary key is (programmeID,productID)
  • (programmeID) references Programme(programmeID)
  • (filterID) references Filter(filterID)
