Database Table

A Database Table object represents an externally-stored database table which can be queried from Grooper.

Remarks

Database Table objects do not store a copy of the data, but rather provide a placeholder object which can be used to reference the database table and create mappings between database table columns and other entities.

Database Table objects are created in the property panel for the Data Connection object, and are used by various entities throughout Grooper. For example the Database Export activity configuration includes a Data Table objects property.
