Profiles Database Structure

The Profiles System stores data in SQL database tables. The Profiles System uses the following SQL Server database tables to store properties of runtime objects.

Table name	Purpose
UserObject	Stores general user information, including names, addresses, multiple-valued fields, and more. The UserObject table serves as the entry point into the Profiles System.
Addresses	Stores addresses that are used in the UserObject and OrganizationObject tables.
OrganizationObject	Stores organizations that are used in the UserObject and BlanketPOs tables.
CreditCards	Stores the credit cards for a user in the Profiles System. It stores the credit cards as a multiple-valued property in the the u_credit_cards field in the UserObject table. It also stores the preferred credit card for a user in the u_preferred_credit_card field in the UserObject table.
Currency	Stores currency and conversion information used for placing orders.
BlanketPOs	Stores purchase orders used for placing orders.
