Change Tables

Identity Manager uses a change table to track changes made to a corresponding object table. These table sizes are proportional to the rate of object change, but the tables are not expected to grow without bound. Identity Manager automatically truncates change tables.

Change tables can be highly volatile because the lifetime of a row is relatively short and new rows can be created frequently.

Access to a change table is typically performed by a range scan on the time-stamp field.

Change tables have CHANGE in the table name.
