Physical location of entities attributes which their IsLogical property is True

Hello,

According to MS Dynamics documentation - "Logical attributes contain values which are stored in different database tables than other attributes in the entity."
So, theoretically, if I want to find the physical location of those logical fields(entity name & field name), what would be the best approach to do so?

Using Dynamics web api, iterating each field with IsLogical==True property in each entity metadata, i am using the attribute_of property in order to find most of the logical fields physical locations.
But 2000 logical attributes location still couldn't be found.

after exploring those fields i noticed most of these 2000 are fields with some similar patterns:

- fields with logical name such as - owningbusinessunit, owninguser, ownerid ....
- fields with attribute_of property such as - ownerid, statuscode, statecode, accountid, contactid ....

Those 2000 logical attributes can be divided into few groups :

No record found.
