Does OutSystems manage the underlying database tables for the developer?

OutSystems indeed manages the underlying database tables for developers, which is a foundational aspect of the OutSystems platform. This management is part of its low-code capabilities, allowing developers to focus on building applications without needing to manually handle database operations, such as creating and maintaining tables.

When a developer creates an entity in OutSystems, the platform automatically generates the necessary database tables and their corresponding fields in the underlying database. It also handles the relationships between these tables as defined within the application’s data model. This abstraction simplifies the development process, as developers do not need to write SQL statements or manage database migrations manually.

Furthermore, OutSystems provides functionalities like automatic data integrity checks, indexing, and built-in support for data access through aggregates and queries. This automated management streamlines the development workflow, enabling rapid application development while maintaining a robust database structure behind the scenes.

The other options suggest various limitations or conditions that are not reflective of the comprehensive database management facilitated by OutSystems, hence reinforcing that full database table management is inherent to the platform.
