Chapter 1 Overview of Data Structures : Use of Tables in TIBCO Object Service Broker

Use of Tables in TIBCO Object Service Broker
What is a Table?
A table is a logical view of your stored data. At a conceptual level, each table is comprised of rows and columns. A row is referred to as an occurrence and a column is referred to as a field.
You must create a table definition before a table exists as an object that can be used by other objects.
What is the Purpose of a Table?
In TIBCO Object Service Broker, tables are used to store data that is native to TIBCO Object Service Broker, access data that is external to TIBCO Object Service Broker, provide a location for the data, and access data that is contained in other tables.
