Database Tables
Completing the New or Save As form

Create a Database Table data instance by selecting Database Table from the SysAdmin category.

Before you create a Database Table instance, confirm that:

• The table or view is present in the database schema
• The Process Commander class (Rule-Obj-Class instance) exists.

You don't need to create a Database Table instance for every concrete class. At runtime, to locate a database table for an object, the system uses pattern inheritance and class groups to locate the appropriate table. If none is found, it uses the "catch-all" default table pr_other.

The key to a Database Table instance is the name of a Process Commander class:

Field	Description
Class Name	Select the name of an abstract or concrete class to be linked with a database table. BUG-3693 Don't create a Database Table instance for a class that is a subclass of a container class of a class group; it will be ignored. All instances (that is, all table rows) of all classes in a class group are stored together in one table; that is the purpose of a class group. GENTJ 7/15/05
