Understanding the Database Structure of the Batoi RAD Framework

Back to Help Articles
Gain an in-depth understanding of the system tables that are set up when installing the Batoi RAD Framework. This comprehensive guide details the purpose, fields, and attributes of each table, serving as a robust foundation for your application development journey.

When we embark on the journey of utilizing the Batoi RAD Framework for our application development, one of the first steps involves an understanding of the database structure it sets up. This article aims to provide a comprehensive walkthrough of the 19 key database tables (each table name starts with s_) that get created when we install the Batoi RAD Framework. These tables serve as the backbone for storing application-specific data and ensuring smooth operations.

Common Fields along with attributes for all the tables:

Each table comes pre-configured with certain common fields that provide crucial information:

  • id: Stores a unique bigint(20) identifier.
  • uid: Uses a char(36) to universally identify records.
  • livestatus: An Enum field representing the active status of a record, with values like 0 (inactive), 1 (active), 2 (archive), and 3 (suspended).
  • versioncode: An int(11) that keeps track of record versions.
  • wf_status: Stores workflow state of the record.
  • space_id: If the table stores SaaS data, it’s used, else the value stored here is 0.
  • createdby & updatedby: Both bigint(20) fields that identify who created or last updated a record.
  • createstamp & updatestamp: Timestamps indicating when a record was created or last modified.
