Table Storage

Each stored table has the following structure in the database:

• An OOAK (one-of-a-kind) owner record
• A DATA member record, which is defined using the specifications entered by the user
• At least one indexed set that connects the OOAK record and the DATA member record

The rows of a table are stored as occurrences of the DATA record. The table is accessed by walking the indexed set that connects the OOAK and DATA records and obtaining all DATA records in the set. The figure below illustrates the internal table structure.
