Table

A table is a named set of objects. Table names are identifiers and must be unique within the same application. Example table names are: Message, LogSnapshot, and Security_4xx_Events.

A table can include the following components:

•	Options: Depending on the storage manager, some table-level options may be supported.

•	Fields: Definitions of scalar, link, and group fields that the table uses.

•	Aliases: Alias definitions, which are schema-defined expressions that can then be used in queries.

The general structure of a table definition in XML is shown below:

<tables>

<table name="Message">

<fields>

// fields

</fields>

<aliases>

// aliases

</aliases>

</table>

...

</tables>

In same structure in JSON is shown below:

"tables": {

"Message": {

"fields": {

// fields

},

"aliases": {

// aliases

}

},

...
