Definition

Determining the expected space requirement of a table on the database.

You can choose category 0 to 4 for your table. With this, a certain fixed size for a storage of the database is assigned to a category. When creating a table, an blank space is reserved on the database for this; If it later needs more space, then the storage space is added correspondingly to the category chosen here.

Use F4 on the field Size category to see the number of data records, that can be maintained with the individual categories for your table without any complications arising (for example, for required reorganisations because the maximum space to be reserved for the table , due to the maintained size category, was overwritten).

If this field is empty, then the value is respectively transferred from the saved table that already exists. If the characteristic is new, meaning no saved tables yet exist, then category 0 is used as default.
