In this chapter, we focused on the foundation level of Business Central data structure: tables and their internal structure. We worked our way through the hands-on creation of a number of tables and their data definitions in support of our WDTU application. We briefly discussed field groups and how they are used.
We identified essential table structure elements, including properties, object numbers, triggers, keys, and SumIndexFields. Finally, we reviewed the various categories of tables that can be found in Business Central.
In the next chapter, we will dig deeper into the Business Central data structure to understand how fields and their attributes are assembled to make up tables. We will also focus on what can be done with triggers. Then, we will explore how other object types use tables so that we can work toward developing a fully-featured Business Central development toolkit.
