[All CSA Questions]

What is the master table that contains a record for each table in the database?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

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.

D . [sys_object_db] --

This table does not exist in ServiceNow.

The correct name is sys_db_object.

How to View the [sys_db_object] Table in ServiceNow?

Navigate to System Definition Tables.

Search for the table sys_db_object.

Open the table to see records representing all tables in the instance.

Reference from Certified System Administrator (CSA) Documentation:

ServiceNow Docs: Understanding Tables and Fields https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/utah-platform-administration/page/administer/metadata/concept/c_TablesAndFields.html

ServiceNow CSA Official Training Guide (System Data and Tables Overview)

This confirms that [sys_db_object] is the master table that contains a record for every table in the ServiceNow database.

I remember practicing a question about database schemas, and I think it might be related to the information schema.

I think the master table is called the system catalog, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term.

Ah yes, I remember learning about this in class. The master table is typically called the "system_tables" or something similar. I'll write that down and explain my reasoning in case I'm not 100% sure.

Wait, what? I don't think I've ever heard of that "information_schema.tables" thing before. This question is throwing me off a bit. Maybe I'll just take a guess and hope for the best.

Okay, I've got this. The master table that contains a record for each table in the database is usually called the "information_schema.tables" view. I'm pretty confident about that.

Ugh, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know there's some kind of system table that keeps track of all the tables, but I can't remember the exact name. Guess I'll have to think it through step-by-step.

Hmm, this seems like a pretty straightforward database question. I think I know the answer, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.
