What type of database management does OutSystems provide?

OutSystems provides automatic management of tables and attributes, which is a significant advantage for developers using the platform. This means that when you define data models in OutSystems, the platform automatically handles the creation and management of the underlying database schema and relationships.

This automatic management streamlines the development process by eliminating the need for manual database scripting or configuration. It allows developers to focus on application logic rather than the intricacies of database management. This feature accommodates rapid application development by ensuring that any changes made to the data model—such as adding or modifying entities and attributes—are reflected in the database without requiring additional manual intervention.

In contrast, manual database management would necessitate developers to handle schema changes and relationships themselves, increasing complexity and the potential for errors. The options related to index management or solely external database management do not encompass the comprehensive automated capabilities that OutSystems offers for data handling and modeling. Thus, automatic management of tables and attributes is the defining characteristic of OutSystems' database management capabilities.
