Adatabase object is a structure for storing,managing and presenting application- or user-specificdata in adatabase. Depending on thedatabase management system (DBMS), many different types of database objects can exist.^[1][2] The following is a list of the most common types of database objects found in mostrelational databases (RDBMS):

• Tablespace, storage space for tables in a database
• Tables, a set of values organized into rows and columns
• Indexes, a data structure providing faster queries (at the expense of slower writing and storage to maintain the index structure)
• Views, a virtual table that is made as it is queried
• Synonyms, alternate names for a table, view, sequence or other object in a database
• Stored procedures anduser-defined functions
• Triggers, procedures which are run automatically based on specific events
• Constraints, a constraint on thedomain of anattribute
• User accounts, schemas and permissions

Database objects are permanent,^[3] which means that they remain in their form as long as they are not explicitlychanged or deleted. Application- or user-specific database objects in relational databases are usually created withdata definition language (DDL) commands, which in SQL for example can beCREATE,ALTER andDROP.^[4][5]

Rows ortuples from thedatabase can represent objects in the sense ofobject-oriented programming, but are not considereddatabase objects.^[6]
