Record Types in PeopleSoft

There are 7 types of records in PeopleSoft.
  • SQL Table
  • SQL View
  • Derived/Work
  • SubRecord
  • Dynamic View
  • Query View
  • Temporary Table.

SQL Table: A record that is actually built on database.

SQL View: PeopleSoft View is a query written specially to retrieve/modify data on the records and also view's are used to show transaction data on reports and much more.

Derived/Work: This record does not store any data. It is not a database object an hence cannot be built.

SubRecord: They are used to group fields together and inserted in to records. These are reusable objects. A Subrecord too is not a database object and hence does not store any data.

Dynamic View: These are essentially SQL statements executed on the fly by the PeopleSoft component processor. This is different to a regular PeopleSoft view which is a database view that needs to be built and exists in the PeopleSoft database.

Query View: This is selected to define the record definition as a view that is constructed using the PeopleSoft Query tool. Before you can create the view, PeopleSoft Application Designer prompts you to save the definition. 

Temporary Table: They are used in Parallel processing and are used for improving performance of a process like Application Engine.
