Configuring Siebel eBusiness Applications > Overview of Configuring Siebel Applications > About the Siebel Object Architecture > Data Objects LayerObject definitions in the Data Objects layer provide a logical representation of the underlying physical database (constructs like table, column, and index), and are independent of the installed DBMS. This creates a layer of abstraction over the DBMS, insulating the application and the developer from database administration and restructuring. Relational database management in Siebel applications is implemented through the layers of Siebel object definitions. The Siebel applications generate queries in response to user actions, in combination with the context established by relevant object definitions. The relational DBMS holds the data, and processes the queries originating in the Siebel application. Query results that are returned from the DBMS are processed up through the relevant object definitions in the Siebel applications architecture, and presented to the user. NOTE: The physical tables in the DBMS are created as part of the Siebel application installation process. Table 6 lists the objects in the data layer of the Siebel object architecture. For a comprehensive list of all objects and properties, see Object Types Reference. |
