9. What is the difference between _all, _tl, _vl, _v tables in Oracle Apps ? Als
o name various other table suffix.
_ALL : Table holds all the information about different operating units. Multi-Or
g environment. You can also set the client_info to specific operating unit to se
e the data specific to that operating unit only.
_TL are tables corresponding to another table with the same name minus the _TL.
These tables provide multiple language support. For each item in the table witho
ut _TL there can be many rows in the _TL table, but all with different values in
the LANGUAGE column.
_B these are the BASE tables. They are very important and the data is stored in
the table with all validations. It is supposed that these table will always cont
ain the perfect format data. If anything happens to the BASE table data, then it
is a data corruption issue.
_F these are date tracked tables, which occur in HR and Payroll. For these there
are two date columns EFFECTIVE_START_DATE and EFFECTIVE_END_DATE which together
with the PK identifies a row uniquely. The date intervals cannot overlap. Many
think they are Secured data. Guess someone from Oracle confirms.
_V tables are the views created on base tables _VL are views for multi language
tables which combines the row of the base table with the corresponding row of th
e _TL table where the LANGUAGE = USERENV( LANG ).
_S are sequences, used for finding new values for the primary key of a table.
_A are Audit Shadow Tables
_AVN and _ACN are Audit Shadow Views (when data was changed, and with what value
