Empty table extension

(0) ShareShare

Hi experts,

We have one table extension which we added a new field initially, then we removed that field. So now the table extension is actually empty, but should we completely delete this table extension from AOT. My question is if we leave that table extension in the AOT, is there any impact to the system (performance or other perspective).

Thanks,

    Well,

    Microsoft best practices wise, you should not keep what you are not using.

    A simple example is when you declare a variable in a class and end up not using that variable at all, there is a warning when you build that class. Therefore, I advice you delete the table extension.

    Hi Yuji, Simple answer is to always delete the unwanted objects. I think system will not give best practice warning if you create table extension but don't change anything in it. Not sure about performance impact but If keep on creating empty extended objects, it will definitely create inconvenience in future when someone need to review your overall technical solution of project.
