In ServiceNow, all tables in the database are recorded in a master table called [sys_db_object]. This table stores metadata about each table in the system, including its name, label, and other attributes.

Key Functions of [sys_db_object]:

Stores a record for every table in the ServiceNow instance.

Tracks essential table properties, such as the table name, label, and whether it is an extension of another table.

Helps administrators view, modify, or create new tables in ServiceNow.

Used in Table Administration and Custom Table Development.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect?

A . [sys_master_db] --

This table does not exist in ServiceNow.

C . [sys_master_object] --

There is no such table named 'sys_master_object' in ServiceNow.

The correct name is sys_db_object.

How to View the [sys_db_object] Table in ServiceNow?
