Issue
- The user has created some custom fields like 'Role', and 'User Type' inside the user portlet.
- Which database table contains both user and custom field data together?
- Steps to follow:
1. Start Liferay DXP 7.2
2. Create a new user.
3. Add the value in the respective fields.
4. Create one custom field name 'Role' and provide the values as 'Engineer'.
5. Click on Save.
Resolution
- Custom field data i.e. Custom field name and its associated value are stored in the following tables:
1. EXPANDOCOLUMN
2. EXPANDOROW
3. EXPANDOTABLE
4. EXPANDOVALUE
- And, there is no table that stores both user and custom field data together. However, the ClassPk column in the 'EXPANDOROW' and 'EXPANDOVALUE' is the UserId of the User_ table. So, that user can easily identify the custom field value related to a specific user.
