Introduction

Though Oracle Applications comes with thousands of seeded database tables$ there can benumerous applications in which one might be re0uired to create a custom table to be used. n

most of the applications all you need is to create a table in a schema and use it directly in your

applications. Flex fields and Oracle Alert are the only features or products that re0uire thecustom tables to be registered in Oracle Applications (Application Ob1ect +ibrary) before they

can be used.

2ou register your custom application tables using a P+34+ procedure in the A!"!! pac#age.

Therefore you only need to register those tables (and all of their columns) that will be used withflex fields or Oracle Alert.

2ou can also use the A!"!! AP to delete the registrations of tables and columns from Oracle

Application Ob1ect +ibrary tables should you later modify your tables. f you alter the table later$

then you may need to include revised or new calls to the table registration routines. To alter a

registration you should first delete the registration$ and then re5register the table or column.%emember$ you should delete the column registration first$ then the table registration. 2ou should

include calls to the table registration routines in a P+34+ script. Though you create your tablesin your own application schema$ you should run the A!"!! procedures against the APP

schema. 2ou must commit your changes for them to ta#e effect.

The A!"!! AP does not chec# for the existence of the registered table or column in the

database schema$ but only updates the re0uired AO+ tables. 2ou must ensure that the tables and

columns registered actually exist and have the same format as that defined using the A!"!!
