Definition

With the data type, you determine, on a logical level, in which physical area of the database (of the TABLESPACE with ORACLE) your table is stored. With the correct choice of data type, your table is automatically assigned to the correct area when creating on the database.

The most important data types (apart from the system data) are:

  • APPL0 Master data
  • APPL1 Transaction data
  • APPL2 Organization and customizing data

With Master data, you are dealing with data that is often accessed read, but that is rarely activated. Transaction data is data that is often actualized. Organization and customizing data is data that is entered when setting the system, and is later rarely changed.

There are two additional data types USR and USR1 that the customers can use. These are intended for customer-own developments. The tables assigned to these data types are stored in a tablespace for customer developments.

Note:Please note that the data type only has an influence on storing the table for the database systems ORACLE and INFORMIX.

If this field is empty, then the value is respectively transferred from the table that is already saved. If the characteristic is new, meaning no saved tables yet exist, then data type APPL0 is used as default.
