API's - Use Buffer table as the source Table

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 629
Hi, 
I looked at the Base Sales Order API (https://github.com/microsoft/ALAppExtensions/blob/main/Apps/W1/APIV2/app/src/pages/APIV2SalesOrders.Page.al)

The Source Table is a Buffer table: "Sales Order Entity Buffer";

Is this best practise to use a buffer table prevent deadlocks or why would you not directly use the Sales Header and Sales Line tables?

Thank you in Advance

    Using buffer tables in Business Central is primarily for enhancing performance, managing concurrency, and ensuring data integrity during transactions. Buffer tables facilitate optimized data handling, reduce the risk of deadlocks by allowing multiple processes to interact without directly locking primary tables, and help in validating changes before they affect the main data structure. This practice simplifies the API interactions and improves overall efficiency in data processing.

    Hope this helps https://yzhums.com/4223/
