Tables
Tables can be defined in the Java Dictionary independently of the database.
For each table definition stored in the Java Dictionary, a physical table
definition is created in the database when the table is deployed. The table
definition is translated from the Java Dictionary to a definition of the
particular database.
A table definition in the Java Dictionary contains the following
components:
- Table
fields: Here you
specify the names and data types of the columns contained in the table.
- Key
fields: Using key
fields you define the columns through which data records of a table are
uniquely defined.
- Technical
settings: The
technical settings control, for example, table buffering.
- Indexes: To speed up
data selection, you can create secondary indexes for the table
