hey guys,

i have a clarification, what is the difference between derived and temporary records? both of them doesn't have rows on the database correct? but can you put some PC on temp records or is it only applicable to derived records?

also, what are the datatypes that are available when creating a field on peopletools?

thanks!

Re: temp tables and field datatypes

The above post answers the query. Briefly put, the significant difference between temporary and the derived records is that the Derived record is not a Database object. It cannot have a physical database table. It cannot be 'built'

Whereas temporary table will have a physical table 'built' in the database. But the proceses like Application Engine clears them once the process is over. Also there can be multiple versions created and maintained for a single Temporary table to handle concurrency and avoid locking of the tables.
