Exploring Business Central Custom Table Indexes

by Steve Endow

In my last post, I poked around in SQL to see what custom fields looked like in the database for a Business Central table extension.

While looking into fields, I happened to notice the table index that is automatically created for the table extension.

Automatic Table Extension Index

If we look at this index, we see it is a Clustered Unique index for the "No_" field only.

Default Clustered Index on Table Extension

Why is this default index created automatically?  This Table Keys docs page briefly mentions the default Clustered Index on table extensions.

Dynamics GP: Deleting all document attachments for Payables Transactions

By Steve Endow

TOPIC:  Microsoft Dynamics GP


I'm working with a customer to automate the import of Document Attachments into Dynamics GP.

As part of the testing process, we are having to clear out all of the test attachments that have been imported so that we can re-import them again.

In case it's of interest to anyone, here are some SQL scripts I created to delete out ALL document attachments for ALL payables transactions.  You can modify the scripts to remove attachments for other record types.

Make sure to backup your company database before running any of these scripts.

If you find any mistakes or problems with these scripts, please let me know.
