Hi All

I have tested creating custom tables in BC using the provided tool (altpgen.exe) and it works like a charm, but not sure when to use table type CRM vs CDS?

So the question is will either work considering upgrades and future versions or is there a best practice? I suppose you can drop and recreate these tables as they are proxy tables in BC without data however you will need to use force install to delete old and recreate when uploading the new extension if you change table type
