-
Database table
Business Components are the primary Siebel objects that retrieve and manipulate data from database tables. They act as the data access layer, encapsulating all SQL operations and presenting data to the UI layer through applets. Views display applets, Business Components contain applets and define business logic, and database tables store the actual data - but only Business Components directly retrieve data from tables.
A Business Component is the object that maps directly to one or more underlying database tables (or a join of them) and handles retrieving, inserting, updating, and deleting records. Views and Business Objects sit above it to organize and present data, but they don't perform the actual data retrieval themselves — that's the Business Component's job.
