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
