What is the Lookup's and what is the use of lookup's?..

Answer / kranthi kumar

Lookups are referred in more locations.
instead of storing the original value,we can store the
lookup codes.
this will reduce the space that is occupied in the database.
this is one reason.

the main reason is..

take an example...

in a table xx_emp there is one column gender.

possible values are
male m
female f
other o

define the above values in a lookup.

if u want to change the male to female ..u go and update
the lookups then automatically all the records referring to
that lookup will also change dynamically...

This saves time and complexity.

hope this clears the above question..........

Lookups are the tables where the client expected format is
found.
For example if we get the data like 'PROJECT MANAGER' and
the client wants that in the 'project manager' then these
lookups are used.
