contain.

Components of table definition are Table Fields, Foreign Keys, Technical
Settings and Indexes.
 Types of tables: Pooled, cluster, Transparent and Internal Tables.

 The Data class determines in which table space the table is stored when it
is created in the database. The Size category describes the probable space
requirement of the table in the database.
 The delivery class controls the transport of table data for installation,
upgrade, client copy and when transporting between customer systems.

fields in a sorted form.

several users to the same data records with a lock mechanism.
