MS Dynamics SL Database schema

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Secor 55

Is there a DB schematic available for Dynamics SL?  Something beyond going to help a looking at Schema for a list of tables with field names.  I'm looking for something that will help identify how to properly join various tables and create my own (very basic) SQL queries through management studio or MS Query.  

I'm not a programmer and the joins don't come to me easily.  I have just started at a new company and have never used Dynamics before.  We have 10 different companies and I find using the interface to be rather slow and cumbersome.  In the past, I learned a great deal by learning the tables and how they link together.  To me, it's much quicker than simply learning how to operate the interface, which will come with time regardless.  

Thank you in advance

    A couple of places to look...search customer source for the report assistants...the are free to download...

    Another place to look...the help files...when you open them, scroll almost to the bottom...there are two different files, one with schema changes from the previous version and the other is the current schema...

    If you want to know what table is associate with a screen you can enter in customization mode, and view the properties of the control , there in the field property you will see the buffer name, something like "binventory.invtid" , that means that the control is binding to the field invtid on the table inventory. Also now that you know the table name you can see the primary index to know the keys of the table , dynamics always have a index with the name of the table and a zero (inventory0) .
