    Applications contain business information that needs to be stored and retrieved. In OutSystems, business concepts are modeled as entities which can be mapped to database tables. An example data model for a shopping app contains customer, order, and product entities with attributes like priority and order status. Entities are defined in the development environment and include attributes and relationships. OutSystems then creates the required database tables, mapping entity attributes to columns and identifier/reference attributes to primary/foreign keys.

    Modeling Data in OutSystems


    Example Data Model
    Entity to Database Mapping
    Modeling Data for an App

    ● Applications contain information that has value for the business


    ○ This information typically needs to be stored and retrieved

    ● The application’s information or data represents various business


    concepts

    ● In OutSystems, those concepts are modeled and referred to as Entities


    ○ Database Entities hold data that can be stored in and retrieved from the
    database

    Example Data Model

    ● Shopping App
    ○ Customers, Orders, Products
    ○ Priority, OrderStatus

    ● Entities are defined and created


    in the development environment
    ○ Attributes
    ○ Relationships

    ● OutSystems creates the required


    database table
