Does extending a custom table count as another custom table in your total allowed count?

MG Casey · ‎09-19-2019

Most licenses only allow you to have a certain number of custom tables.

However, if you extend a custom table, does that count as an additional custom table? Or is it all rolled up into 1?

It counts as another table.

They also have a limit on columns per custom table to ensure you don't build huge tables to avoid extending.

No doubt there are exceptions but if you look at the filter they are using on the custom table list it basically matches a query on the db_object table with names that start with x or a u.

You can filter out the import set row tables then grab the list of cmdb tables from SNC.CMDBUtil.getAllChildrenOfAsCommaList('cmdb');

Import set row and cmdb tables are exempt from your count but do have a limit of 1000 each.

So it's a bit new for me but if folk have other experience I'd love to hear it

Most contracts...and usually it's 0 and old school you'd pay for runtime licenses based on users with access. Starting in Madrid they changed that to where it's more of a package deal with the smallest being 5 table allowances. It depends on your current contract/package, but yes, it counts as 2, otherwise, people would just keep extending the same one and never make another new one.

Ultimately, you'd want to get with your SN account executive for best advice.

Hi,

Just curious how the other reply was the Correct answer as we basically said the same thing and then I also gave advice for contacting your sales rep which is really the best overall answer.

Just wondering what was wrong with my response.

Thanks

Nothing wrong at all with yours - if I could mark both as the correct answer, I would (can I?). I only marked scott's right since he provided some extra info that was relevant.

Allen Andreas · ‎09-19-2019

Ah alright. I don't see where you asked that in your question, so I guess mentioning the extra info just happened to be relevant. If you required more information, next time just toss that in your post so we know.

Thanks!
