An update of SAP hybris blog! The purpose of the new post on the blog is to shed a light on the internal data structures used by SAP Hybris Commerce. I explain system tables and attributes, their purpose and meaning.
You know that SAP Hybris Commerce has a powerful type system built on top of the database layer. It means that you can’t (you are not recommended to) write to the database directly. Direct read is also not recommended. So basically the information about the specific attributes and table names is not used by developers directly.
However, understanding of the internal structure is very useful in troubleshooting and low-level data analysis. For example, direct access to the database may show that your system has a lot of unused items, and it affects the performance. Analyzing the data is also extremely helpful with data integrity issues.
Looking at the underlying data model you will understand the processes better. You will see that SAP Hybris Commerce is not a black box with hidden algorithms and logic under the hood. It is an open system even from the database perspective.
