Overview of Siebel Tables

The object definition of a Siebel table is a logical representation in the Siebel repository of the physical table that resides in the underlying RDBMS. Note the following:

• You can use an extension table to customize the data objects layer.
• You can use an extension column on a base table.
• You cannot add a new base table, delete a base table or column, or modify the properties of a base column.

Siebel CRM uses the term base table to describe the following object definitions:

• The table that an extension table customizes, as defined in the Base Table property of the extension table
• The table on which a business component is built, as defined in the Table property of the business component.
