On the
General tab page one can see the corresponding data table name, which is useful for further
investigations on the data base side. Also, it is specified here what type the current object has.
There are the following types of objects:
- Base objects directly correspond to a single table in the database.
- Virtual objects on the other hand are based on an SQL statement that is specified on the Virtual object tab page.
An interesting combination here is to yet define a data table name.
This allows data to be written back to the database even for virtual objects.
- Data Tree Rows. If an object is defined as a Data Tree Rows object, each entry of its data is displayed as a child
node under the object that is specified as parent on the TreeView tab page.
- History object serves as a backup to store old revisions of an object, which is not further explained in this document.
