In which environment are Entities and Static Entities created?

Entities and Static Entities in OutSystems are created within the Service Studio, which is the integrated development environment designed for building web and mobile applications. In this environment, developers can define data models using Entities to represent tables in the database, alongside Static Entities, which are used for reference data.

The functionality in Service Studio allows for a visual representation of data structures, enabling developers to manage the lifecycle of the application and its data. This includes properties such as attributes, data types, and relationships between entities. The design approach promotes agile development and enables real-time updates to the data model.

Using SQL directly for creating entities is not applicable since OutSystems abstracts the database interactions. SQL is used for querying data rather than defining structures within the OutSystems architecture. Similarly, Excel is not utilized for creating entities within OutSystems, as it's primarily a data handling and analysis tool, not a development environment. Therefore, the best context for entity creation is indeed within the capabilities offered by Service Studio.
