Database Changes After Liferay Object Layout

Created: 27 January 2025  Modified:

What data changes occur when adding a new layout to a Liferay object. Created new Rock and Mineral objects and then added layouts. This information was added by administrator user Test Test with email test@test.com. Keep in mind that Liferay doesn’t enforce referential integrity in the database. Instead it is “enforced” in the code.

Many tables have columns classNameId and classPK. These act as a psuedo foreign key to the ClassName_ table. The ClassName_ table basically references Java classes. These Java classes have associated database tables. ClassPK contains an identifier that references a row in the table. This seems to be used to add levels of abstraction for second order relationships.

The following tables were modified.

Diagram is only showing the relationships most relevant.
