Base Tables
The term base table is used in two different contexts:
- The base table for an extension table is the table it extends. This is specified in the Base Table property of the extension table's object definition. Extension tables are discussed in Extension Tables.
- The base table for a business component is the table that provides most of its essential fields. This is specified in the Table property of the Business Component object definition. The set of fields supplied by the base table is supplemented by nonupdateable fields that are obtained from joins. Business components are discussed in Business Components.
Tables have various styles based on the value in the Type property. They include, among others, Data, Extension, Intersection, and Interface. Table styles are summarized under the Type property heading in Properties of the Table Object Type, and each is discussed in detail in a subsequent section.
