  • Article

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Application tables can be viewed as being similar to application classes in Microsoft Dynamics AX, but with the following differences from classes:

  • Tables are persistent.

  • Table fields are always public.

  • A table in the AOT almost always corresponds to a real object.

  • The definition of a table must sometimes be erased if you later want another table to extend it.
