The following data operations have impact on the content of stored data resources:

• drop - drop the resource (delete the resource content included)
• truncate - delete the content via metadata update, not the resource
• upsert - upsert data into the content
• insert - insert data into the content
• update - update the content
• delete - delete parts or all of the content

Runtime

A runtime data resource returns its content at runtime (ie the data is not stored but computed). In tabulify, a runtime data resource is known as a runtime.
