• The dbPrefix argument is intended to specify the ATTACHED-DB where the Font corresponding to facename is expected to be found; it could be eventually NULL, and in this case the MAIN DB will implicitly be assumed.

• min_scale_denominator sets the lower visibility limit: it can be legitimately be NULL thus meaning that no lower limit is defined (always set to NULL by default).
• max_scale_denominator sets the upper visibility limit: it can be legitimately be NULL thus meaning that no upper limit is defined (always set to NULL by default).
• Note: you can set the one or the other, or both or none, as more appropriate.

• the optional argument is_queryable (expected to be of the Integer type) determines if the Coverage is queryable or not; if omitted or negative the Coverage will preserve the already defined value.
