LiveView System Tables

LiveView system tables provide information about your LiveView Server instance. This section describes the standard set of LiveView system tables, listed in the order used by the lv-client listtables command.

All system tables have one or more internal columns whose names generally begin with CQS. End-user developers must never change the contents of these internal columns. Internal columns are not shown on this page, and are not shown by default in the output of lv-client listtable tablename. You can see the internal columns by appending -a to an lv-client command: lv-client listtable tablename -a.
